M Shays

Atmospheric indie-pop based in Madison, WI and formed by singer/songwriter/producer Meggie Shays Gilfillan. Meggie's expansive voice enchants while her spectacular piano skills dazzle. Initially a solo act, M Shays is now a full band ordeal! She's moved from moody indie-folk into more uplifting indie-rock/art-pop territory akin to AURORA, Kate Bush and Regina Spektor. Her vocals still sit front and center as they captivate and charm...You haven't heard a voice quite like this before. The new singles "Middle of Nowhere" and "Bleed" show the expanded palette while keeping true to her calculated piano-based compositions. "A captivating Madison based singer-songwriter, M Shays' whimsical belt and head voice compares to no one else around her. Listeners hear hints of her musical influences while being transported by her picturesque accompaniments. She melds everything into unique, engaging performances that delight audiences." Dr. J. Adam Shelton
