A back-to-back CCMA Female Artist of the Year winner with multiple Top Ten singles already to her name, Meghan Patrick never imagined she’d grow up to be a country singer, let alone one who shared stages with the likes of Keith Urban, Old Dominion, Dwight Yoakam, and Kip Moore. Take a listen to “My First Car,” though, and it’s clear that Patrick was born for it. Recorded with producer Jeremy Stover (Justin Moore, Eli Young Band),the track marks the breakout Canadian star’s U.S. debut and serves as a perfect introduction to her infectious blend of southern rock and classic country. “Everything in that song comes straight out of my own experiences,” says Patrick. “I wanted it to be a way of telling my audience about who I really am, about how I was raised and the things that I carry in my heart.” Growing up in rural Bowmanville, Ontario, Patrick had her sights set on a professional snowboarding career until a devastating accident left her nearly paralyzed. She turned to music to help her recovery, eventually signing to Warner Music Canada and taking the country by storm with her award-winning debut album, ‘Grace & Grit,’ which she recorded with producers Vince Gill and Justin Niebank. Buoyed by the album’s success, Patrick moved to Nashville full-time and followed it up with 2018’s ‘Country Music Made Me Do It,’ which yielded her first #1 single, and 2019’s ‘Wild As Me,’ which took home the Juno Award for Country Album of the Year.
