Megon McDonough A gifted musician, Megon McDonough has expanded her talents to keynote speaking and innovative workshops that inspire people to bring out the best in themselves and others – as her song says, “You will do amazing things.” Megon is best known for her work as an inaugural member of The Four Bitchin’ Babes which allowed her wit and folk sensibilities to comment on the ups and downs of everyday life. She has performed on stages as varied as The Cellar Door and Carnegie Hall. She is an accomplished comedic actress having appeared in numerous theater productions including, Pump Boys and Dinettes, Beehive and a box office record-breaking starring role in Always… Patsy Cline, for which she was nominated for the Joseph Jefferson Award. She won an ACE Cable TV award for singing the theme song of an HBO Olympic ice-skating special and has recorded for a Danielle Steel Made for TV movie. Folk lovers may remember a 17-year old Megon opening for such acts in the 70’s as John Denver, Steve Martin and Harry Chapin. But McDonough classifies her music as folk/cabaret, citing her love of theatre and jazz as the reason for the unusual mix. Born in Illinois, McDonough was one of nine theatrically inclined children. Her Irish-Catholic parents both had careers in the performing arts. She wrote her first song at 11 and was inspired to play the guitar and sing after watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Ever since, her mantra,” Live to sing and Love to Sing” has guided this wife and mother from Chicago. Megon has nine solo albums to her credit. With her most recent album, “My One and Only Love,” she realized a lifelong dream of recording jazz and torch songs. Says the Washington Post of her latest release, “Here we find McDonough in her true element, sensitively reprising such standards as “Here’s That Rainy Day,” “If I Had You” and the title track.” She has also performed on five compilation albums and released five albums with the Bitchin’ Babes. She has just completed “4+1” Music Inspired by The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Accompanying herself on guitar, piano, percussion and recorded backtracks, her songs combined with humorous stories and commentary on everyday life create lively, warm and inspiring programs of fun and insight! Her years of experience and a true passion for singing, song crafting and performing insure that Megon will leave you and your audience uplifted and inspired to do “Amazing Things.” Most Popular Topics Amazing Things Her Way -- An Interesting Bunch of Gals Everyday Improv Everyday Finding Your Voice and Your Song Megon McDonough offers expertise in: Appreciation, Humor, Personal Growth, Spirituality, Stress Solutions, Motivation, Womens Wellness, Musical Performer Megon McDonough is a good fit for: Association Keynote, Spouse Program, Keynote Womens Event, Ladies Night Out, Womens Retreat, Nurses Appreciation, Womens Events, Employee Appreciation Events, Mother-Daughter Programs |
