Musical Performances:

An Evening with Megon McDonough

Raised by an actor (which was a lot like being raised by wolves), Megon cut her teeth on Broadway show tunes, Barbra Streisand, Peter Paul and Mary and James Brown. Then...at 10 years old, The Beatles saved her life. She wrote her first song at age 11, (so naturally, it was a love song) and won The WLS Big Break Contest at 14. Her winnings included; big rock Gibson amps, Ludwig Drums, and a recording contract with Mercury Records. She made her first record at Universal Studios in Chicago at 14. Minnie Ripperton was one of the back up vocalists. She's been singing, writing, recording, touring and loving the journey ever since.

At 17 she ran away from home to California with her mothers permission, (well-on a good day it was permission - on a bad day it was encouragement) signed with Wooden Nickel/RCA, was managed by Jerry Weintraub, and toured with John Denver. Armed with a "magic guitar" that never seems to go out of tune, some decent piano chops, a few back tracks or a full band and more funny stories than you could remember for the water cooler, - whether she is providing entertainment for your banquet, giving her wonderful, inspiring keynote: "You Will Do Amazing Things", or leading one of her fun, inspiring, enlivened workshops, she can't wait to come and make your event as special and memorable as it should be.

"Her Way" "An Interesting Bunch of Gals"

Starring Megon McDonough
and Featuring Peter Polzak and Big City Jazz

"Her Way" is an evening of music, humor and memories that will have you grinning, singing and asking for more!

Megon honors some of the wonderful women who paved the way for every young girl who dreamed of making singing their life's path. She sings the songs and shares the stories of some of her favorite Diva's including:

  • Edith Piaf
  • Billie Holiday
  • Doris Day
  • Connie Francis
  • Patsy Cline (Megon was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for her role in Always...Patsy Cline for Northlight Theatre)
  • Karen Carpenter
  • Cher
  • And Joni Mitchell

Then sings the songs of her current favorite singer/songwriter: Megon McDonough.

Megon's power, range and ability to vocally convey emotion put her far beyond the average singer. She adds a Midas touch to American Popular standards while masterfully blending her witty humor and snappy patter with Jazz, Pop, Country, Folk and Rock for a Cabaret experience you'll never forget.

With an ensemble consisting of piano, bass, drums and saxophone, Peter Polzak and Big City Jazz set the stage for a fabulously entertaining evening of entertainment. The chemistry between the musicians and Megon is magical and electrifying.

Megon McDonough's "Her Way" (An Interesting Bunch of Gals) highlights some of the most prolific and memorable female singers of the last 60 years.
