"...she's got both the vocal and songwriting prowess to stake a fierce claim to chart superstardom..." - The Line Of Best Fit

"...a voice to keep on your radar..." - The 405

"...a showcase for Mac's exceptionally confident vocals, even as they show off a vulnerable side amidst the largely minimal arrangements." - BULLETT

"I think I'm in love."- Earbuddy

"Mac has one of those voices that just cater to your ears, an edgy sound with a hinge of soulful delight that carries any and all notes." - The Music Ninja

Meg Mac - Australia's most buzzworthy breakout artist of 2014, and the latest signing to Lyor Cohen's 300 Entertainment - will embark on her first U.S. tour this week, debuting her live show in the States at SXSW and then on the road supporting Clean Bandit. To celebrate the upcoming tour, Meg's incredible debut EP entitled MEG MAC will be released next week on March 24th. See below for track listing and the full tour routing to find a show near you!

The 24 year-old singer-songwriter Meg Mac has already won Triple J's Unearthed Artist of 2014, is a current cover star for InStyle Australia, was named one of Marie Claire Australia's Artists To Watch in 2015, and sold out her entire tour throughout Australia this past Fall. Now, she has her sights set on the U.S., and this upcoming tour and EP release will firmly solidify her as a force to be reckoned with - not just in the Australian music scene, but as an international star on the rise.

Inspired by her childhood aural education in Detroit soul-pop and gritty Memphis blues, Meg Mac creates elusive and dark pop with innovative sonic twists and turns that merge multiple genres and defy expectations. Full of powerhouse vocals and evocative personal narratives, MEG MAC is a stunning compilation of undeniably catchy and sultry pop songs with a neo-soul tinge.
