Megan Brickwood
Overview
I am a singer-songwriter who performs regularly in Seattle and the surrounding areas. I often play solo shows but I also play with a band and work with a lot of other musicians who I can bring in for a duo or trio setup, or full band.
My musical style is vintage-inspired Americana folk music. I sing, play guitar and have solid sets with original music and covers. My sound has a strong 1970's songwriter influence with a modern twist and has been compared to artists like Big Thief, Lana Del Rey, and Joan Baez.
"The album ingeniously blends traditional folk elements with Brickwood's contemporary artistry, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new." - Earmilk

September 8, 2026Every Song Sounds Like She Wrote It
What an absolute delight it is to have Megan Brickwood perform. She is captivating and brings you right into her music. Her range is wide, and somehow she makes each and every song sound like she wrote it. She's just as easy to work with as she is talented — professional, warm, and a joy for our guests every time. We'll keep booking her again and again. We highly recommend her for any event.

About
Born and raised in rural Northern California, Megan Brickwood’s artistic journey has taken her across the West Coast, from Shasta County to Los Angeles to the Seattle area in search of new sounds and musical ventures.
Her debut EP, Where the Wind Lays Heavy, was recorded at Death Star Studios in Los Angeles, and released in 2020. In 2021, she connected with producer Ryan Hadlock and traveled to Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, Washington, to record the four tracks that would become her second EP, Fifth Mile, working with a cadre of Seattle's finest musicians to bring the songs to life with a full spectrum of acoustic and electric sounds. Megan returned to Bear Creek with the same team to record five additional songs, making her first full album, All The Same. Her debut album is a testament to the transformative power of change and self-discovery, chronicling Brickwood's quest for authenticity and purpose and drawing inspiration from musical icons like Nick Drake, Aimee Mann, and Joni Mitchell.
Megan’s musical style is distinguished by a nuanced blend of influences from American roots and folk music, blues, and rock. Influenced by lyricists like Joni Mitchell and Aimee Mann, her songs examine the depths of the human condition, searching for truth and beauty while paying homage to her rural northern roots and tales of the road less traveled.
Additional booking notes
I have my own sound equipment and can play with or without a stage, indoor or outdoor.
