Folk music runs through the veins of Meg Baird passed on by her great-great uncle Appalachian folk singer and historian I.G. Greer. With captivatingly genteel vocals and learned finger-picking enhanced by the production work of Miner Street Studios’ Brian McTear, Baird’s sophomore solo full-length Seasons on Earth, which dropped on September 20 via Drag City, peacefully submerges its listener into the gloomy waters of one’s own psyche only to allow one to emerge cleansed and enlightened with new hope. But don’t be lulled by the beauty of her latest offering just yet because there is the heart of a wild child in our favorite local folk princess, and you’ll experience what we’re talking about when she opens for herself tonight at Johnny Brenda’s behind the skins with her punk outfit Watery Love which also includes Richie Charles (Clockcleaner) and Max Milgram.
