    Megs McLean who recently released her breakout single “It’s My Truck” recorded at world renowned London Bridge Studio in Seattle announced that she will be playing a five song set including “It’s My Truck” at the Taylor Swift Concert August 8th at Qwest Field.  Megs performance at the Taylor Swift Concert in Seattle will be her first ever live performance of her single “It’s My Truck”. Megs was joined in her recording of her breakout single “It’s My Truck” by legendary Seattle drummer Ben Smith who has been the drummer for “Heart” for over twenty years and Blind Melon Bassist Brad Smith who’s unforgettable bass line in the international sensation “No Rain” was recorded  at London Bridge in 1992.

    Megs recently became the first artist to have her likeness etched into the infamous vintage Neve 8048 recording console at London Bridge Studio that was built in 1973. Megs also joined notable acts such as Pearl Jam, Blind Melon, Alice and Chains, Melissa Etheridge, Macklemore, Candle Box, Mother Love Bone, and other standouts as having recorded through this piece of Seattle music history.

    : “I am looking forward to performing at the Taylor Swift Concert for the fans during the Snapple Straight Up Tea Swift Pre-Concert Party presented by KMPS. KMPS is one of my all-time favorite radio stations and I have grown up listening to great music including Taylor Swift on it most of my life. Snapple makes amazing teas and I am thrilled to be taking the stage performing live at such a significant event”

    Megs will be featured at the Snapple Straight up Tea Swift Pre-Concert Party Presented by KMPS. The Party begins at three PM across from the Stadiums southwest entrance. Listen to live music from Megs on the entertainment stage, win great prizes and grab a beverage in the beer garden.

    Ben Smith drummer for Megs McLean and Heart stated: “She’s a super strong singer at a young age but obviously is motivated about it. The band I play in “Heart” has an element of their sound that’s super aggressive so that’s part of my style is being able to hit things aggressively and find the right spots and dynamics in songs. I’m not really surprised by the aggressiveness of the tune “It’s My Truck”.  It’s always fun to come out and play, come out and really play and really bring it.  The roominess of this space, that really works well for drums so it feels great to play in this room and they do a great job of recording it here and I love to come out here.”

    Megs McLean commented by saying: “I am looking forward to performing at the Taylor Swift Concert for the fans during the Snapple Straight Up Tea Swift Pre-Concert Party presented by KMPS.

    “Not only was I able to work with legendary musicians such as Ben Smith and producer Geoff Ott, but I also had the opportunity to have it all documented by multi Emmy award winning producers Todd Crites and Jackson Nguyen of TurnLeft/ReelTime Partners. Being able to team up with such talented people has been a true blessing and I can see why they are among the most sought after producers in the industry. While filming the documentary and recording “It’s My Truck” we were simultaneously working on a very special project that will soon debut. I couldn’t have done it without such an amazing team.”

    Ben Smith commented on the making of “It’s My Truck” and his collaboration with Megs McLean: “She’s a super strong singer at a young age but obviously is motivated about it.

    Geoff Ott, Co-Owner London Bridge Studio and recent Pacific NW Chapter President of the Grammys (2013-2015), stated: “I think what Seattle brings to country is a little bit of the grunge factor.  If you think about “I’m going to be in a country band you go to Nashville, you go to these amazing studios, you get these amazing players, they are just killer and they lay it down and you’re like that sounds awesome. Up here we are a little less refined. We like things a little bit looser, a little bit sloppier, which is kinda down homey, it’s kinda swampy, it kinda fits into that Americana thing really well I think. And what Megs brings is that feeling of country. I think people are going to be blown away when they hear Megs and “It’s My Truck”. She’s got some great pipes and really knows what she’s after. “
