Artist:Meghan Patrick
Song:The Bad Guy
Album:Country Music Made Me Do It
Country singer songwriter Meghan Patrick has had success in her native Canada. She is now trying to break through in the US. That is likely to be an uphill climb. She was born Mar. 25, 1987 in Bowmanville, ON which is east of Toronto. She learned to play guitar as a child. She was lead singer of The Stone Sparrows. After releasing an EP and an album, they split up in 2013 and Meghan decided to go solo. After winning a Star Search competition on a local radio station, Meghan signed a publishing deal and then a record deal with Warner Music Canada. She has released three albums on Warners. Meghan writes all her songs with co-writers. For her 2016 album Grace & Grit, she worked with Vince Gill, Chad Kroeger of Nickelback and Chantal Kreviazuk. The album did OK and four singles charted in Canada. For her 2018 album Country Music Made Me Do It, the producer was Jeremy Stover who produces Justin Moore. The single The Bad Guy reached #12 on the Canadian Country Singles chart. Meghan wrote the song with background singer Kelly Archer and Nathan Spicer. The single Walls Come Down topped the chart. After releasing a 2019 EP, Meghan moved to Nashville and for her 2021 album Heart on My Glass, she signed a US record deal with Riser House Entertainment. Her fiancee Mitchell Tenpenny is also on that label. She still does OK in Canada. But that's because of Canadian content quotas. For me, she looks and sounds too much like Carrie Underwood. I'm sure that's why Warner Nashville didn't pick her up. Meghan could have success as a songwriter. And though I expect her success in Canada to continue, I don't think she will do well in the US. Here's the video for The Bad Guy by Meghan Patrick.
