In this episode of Backstage Sonoma, host Steve Roby interviews multi-talented musician Megan Slankard. They discuss Megan's inspirations, career experiences, and current album.  Megan shares her early influences, most notably The Beatles, whose music profoundly impacted her. According to Megan, The Beatles were a gateway that led her to explore classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Heart before transitioning to a singer-songwriter style, all of which have shaped her unique sound. As the conversation continued, Megan and Steve discussed her latest record, California and Other Stories, which she co-produced with Nashville producer Alex Wong. Megan elaborates on her creative process, noting that the songs featured on California… were born from a period of profound personal change and adversities. "I call it my revenge record, even though names and places have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent," Megan quips, adding a touch of humor to the transformative nature of her music. They delve into how her monthly songwriting club on Patreon allowed her to explore different musical avenues and eventually pour her heart and soul into this album, dividing it into two thematic halves — one belligerent rock and roll, the other reflective and cinematic. The duo also discusses the evolving music industry and its impact on artists like Megan. She voices her nostalgia for the bygone era when albums were central to the music experience, contrasting it with today's single-focused, streaming-driven landscape. “Music weirdly has become the background,” she observes, lamenting how the depth and artistry in albums are often overlooked. Toward the end, Megan hints at exciting upcoming projects, including new singles and a unique coloring book that aligns with her songs. "Each picture you color will correspond with a song, and there will be lyrics," she explains. Her reflective take on the industry's changing landscape and her earnest dedication to her craft and fans make for an inspiring and insightful interview.

With the demise of KFOG we thought we’d continue the Holiday tradition of Concert for Kids, the station’s annual charity show that raised money for children’s charities in addition to collecting toys and books for those that might otherwise go without. Thanks to both Megan Slankard and openers Skillet Licorice for providing the wonderful soundtrack … Continue reading "Megan Slankard & Skillet Licorice"

Korby Lenker, Megan Slankard, and Alex WongThese three amazing singer/songwriters stopped by CAU on their way to perform at "Space" in Evanston. That was over a year ago and the files were lost, but now found. Check out the Bio on these artists and you can see just how amazing they are

Korby Lenker, Megan Slankard, and Alex WongThese three amazing singer/songwriters stopped by CAU on their way to perform at "Space" in Evanston. That was over a year ago and the files were lost, but now found. Check out the Bio on these artists and you can see just how amazing they areKORBY LENKER: Korby Lenker is a sneaky-good songwriter. And singer. And multi-instrumentalist. An abbreviated list of Lenker's achievements so far includes: a significant amount of airplay on the legendary Seattle indie rock station KEXP; a BBC 2 interview with Bob Harris, which is only about the highest honor a rootsy singer-songwriter touring the U.K. can get; opening slots for acts ranging from Willie Nelson to Ray LaMontagne, Nickel Creek, Keith Urban, Susan Tedeschi and Tristan Prettyman; a successful run with one of the hottest young West Coast bluegrass bands of the aughts; and wins in the Merlefest folk songwriting contest as well as the Kerrville Folk Festival's elite New Folk songwriting competition. Lenker's composition "My Little Life" brought him the Kerrville honors this year. It doesn't seem possible that one song could work so well in such disparate worlds, but it also proved its powers as a galvanizing piece of indie-pop, drawing a small army of likeminded, rising Nashville artists and personalities--Jeremy Lister and Katie Herzig to name two--to make lip-syncing, ukulele-strumming cameos in Lenker's music video. MEGAN SLANKARD: "Nearly everyone who encounters this attractive and sophisticated singer-songwriter agrees that she has 'star' written all over her," says Acoustic Guitar Magazine about Megan Slankard. "She forges a distinctive sound with her smooth and courageous vocal dynamics, intelligent and diverse song styles, and sheer infectious enthusiasm." Slankard, who has sold just over 20,000 copies of her three CDs, self-produced her first CD at age eighteen and her third with help from Counting Crow's guitarist Dan Vickrey, and is currently working on a new project. Last year Slankard formed a new alt-rock band, and is already getting industry attention having been selected as a semi-finalist in Discmaker's 2007 Independent Music World Series and a finalist in the 2008 Musician's Atlas/Borders Books Independent Music Awards - even before the official release of her new band's first album, scheduled for mid-2008. Slankard and her music have appeared on TLC's "What Not To Wear", generating purchases by TV viewers after her first appearance that placed her second CD "Freaky Little Story" on the 5 spot on Amazon.com CD sales charts and on the Top-10 Rock Bestseller list on CDBaby.com. Because of the episode's popularity, the show's producers featured her in a follow-up episode, bringing her back onto the Top-10 with "Freaky Little Story". Upon its release months later, "A Little Extra Sun" also reached the Top-10 sales chart. Her songs have also earned over 175,000 plays on MySpace.com, and "Freaky Little Story" remains a Top-20 all time Rock Bestseller on CDBaby.com to this day. Slankard's music has also been featured on San Francisco AAA station KFOG's compilation CD and has been spun over 500 times on Modesto, CA. She has been featured in Rockgrl Magazine, Owl Magazine, The Synthesis, and online sources Fresh Tracks and Women In Rock, in addition to Acoustic Guitar magazine, whose editors named "Freaky Little Story" one of their top albums of 2005. She was a final selection artist for RPM Direct Presents: Unsigned Artists Volume 3 compilation CD; an A&R Online featured artist; a Song and Film Spotlight artist; and, an Acoustic Cafe featured artist on the "One to Watch" syndicated radio program (sponsored by the USA Songwriting Competition). Slankard also co-wrote and performed on the title track of Dire Straits founding member David Knopfler's new record, "Ship of Dreams". Megan has performed in over 200 cities in five different countries, including at showcases in Boston (NEMO) and Toronto (NXNE), on three tours as support for David Knopfler (Germany and England), and at the international festival InGuitar in Zurich (Switzerland). She will resume touring after the completion of the new CD. ALEX WONG: Alex Wong is a Brooklyn-based producer, writer and performer whose signature sonic style resonates in all he creates-from cinematic pop soundscapes to electronic tinged theater scores to his honest, direct songwriting. He has produced recordings with leading artists such as Delta Rae, Ari Hest, Elizabeth and the Catapult, Melissa Ferrick, Vienna Teng and Grammy nominee Ximena Sarinana. Alex has garnered critical acclaim for his songwriting collaborations with recording artists Amber Rubarth (The Paper Raincoat), Vienna Teng, Paul Freeman, Elizabeth and the Catapult and Alex Berger (Independent Music Award winner).

  Jeff Campbell is a natural, and any lover of music can see that when performing, he is doing what he was born to do. Jeff's onstage experiences have found him sharing the stage with members of Counting Crows, Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead and opening for Grammy-winning band Train. Early 2012 saw the release of Campbell's first-ever acoustic album, "Stop and Go". With this album, Jeff fulfilled his promise to stay true to the songwriting style that P&B fans have come to know but also to test some boundaries with production, approach and style. "Stop and Go" also boasts guest performances from several of the Bay area's finest musicians, including Megan Slankard, Brad Brooks, Austin Wilacy and James Deprato, who not only offered their performance talents, but also lent their hands with songwriting, arrangements and production.SF Recording and Mastering engineer Michael Romanowski approached Jeff in early Feb 2012 and said he wanted to start a live recording/DVD series from Coast Recorders, a staple SF recording studio that has been around for decades that he recently took over. He asked Jeff if he would like to be his pioneer act, recreating his entire last album (Stop and Go) from start to finish, totally live, in front of an invited studio audience. Jeff said heck yes, put an email out to my mailing list asking who would be interested, the response was overwhelming and we filled the room with the first 75 RSVPs, a 4 camera crew and full audio crew on Feb 26 and filmed and recorded it. They captured the full essences of a live, in studio performance of a record that had many tracks on the studio version initiially.
