Musician of Rock
American Cellist and Songwriter, performs both Classical and "Pop" genres Praised for her “alarming tour-de-force intensity” (The Examiner) and “impossibly beautiful but in no way forgiving” songs (The Deli), Meaghan Burke frequently performs her own music as a soloist as well as with the bands/ensembles The Rhythm Method, Forever House, Loose Lips Sink Ships, and Cheating on New York. Drawing heavily on her experience “commuting” between her geographical homes of Vienna and New York, as well as her various musical homes, Meaghan writes haunting, festively dark songs, part art, part pop, with witty, macabre lyrics and killer riffs. With inspirations ranging from Nirvana to Cole Porter to Anton Webern, she tells stories of bedbugs, bedfellows, and the apocalypse, wedding her sundry influences of Brechtian cabaret, 1990s grunge, old-school blues, and avant-garde contemporary music. Her debut solo album, “Other People’s Ghosts,” was released in 2010; she recently finished recording her second album, “Creature Comforts,” in New York and Vienna, featuring her favorite collaborators from both sides of the pond. This album will be released in Spring 2017.
