Meaghan Smith
singer-songwriter // indie folk // holiday
After hearing Canadian songwriter Meaghan Smith’s sweet and carefree songs it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she grew up in a house of music, with her piano-teacher mother, bassist father and three talented sisters. Her affinity for the sounds of the “˜20s, “˜30s and “˜40s features heavily in her music as well. While the jazz-influenced indie folk of Meaghan Smith embraces instrumentation from older eras, the Canadian songwriter gives it her own contemporary twist (Meaghan herself dubs it “modern vintage”). Regardless of what you’d like to call it, her unique take on the holiday classic, “Silver Bells” and her original winter song, “It Snowed” is just what you need to get you in the holiday mood!
Traditional holiday songs go “modern vintage”.

Great Voice! I’ve never been a big fan of Silver Bells, but I love this version!
Very interesting phrasing, particularly her take on Silver Bells.
Wow. Meaghan is amazing. I love her voice and style. She will go a long way.
Her Christmas EP, ‘Wish Upon A Star’ quickly became a family favorite on our drive across the US. Holiday music is definitely one genre that chafes against excess modernization, IMHO.
The faux-instrumentals kind of creep me out.
Seeing you for a day ago, few moments, here an ABC 2 station, neat.
Looking forward to hearing your CD. Wish you success.
I did a post previously, but I have listened to more of Meaghan since then, and she is just amazing. I saw a vid of her song ” if You Ask Me “, and it is so great. Plus, I just love ” Silver Bells “. Keep it up Meaghan. God bless.
Loved the show at the Ironwood. When will you come back out west? I’ll be there.
