New Lyric Video for “Bucket of Love” on my YouTube Channel. The video is new, but the song is not!  I'm beyond grateful that it continues to be sung by choirs in BC, Australia, Sweden & the USA.  I wrote this song in the 90s, sang it with various duos, trios, etc, then recorded it with the band AUGUST on our 2007 album The Sweetest Day.  That is the audio you'll hear in the lyric video.  Link here to the new video.  Hope you enjoy it!

"Great album, Meg!  Wow, very beautiful.  Just got your CD in the mail today.  Really love Glass Heart.  Very powerful love song....Hooked Me Like a Habit, Day of Grace, Silence & Snowbanks and Let's Walk this Road are really great.  Shine a Light On Us is a really beautiful tribute to your brother.  What a lovely mourning song.  When are you going to visit Nashville with it all?"
     -Michael P. O'Hara, Waking Dream Productions

     -Johann Lowenberg, Songwriter/Recording Artist

"...your straight-ahead style and how you use rhythms to provide unexpected tension/release moments.  It's intriguing and very subtle. Your songs are singable and poetic, and I can easily see why so many musicians want to perform with you, and collaborate on your songs. Echoed Light is a good body of work which harmonizes together like a painting or scenes in a play."
     -Becca Anderson, Songwriter/Recording Artist

"In today's mail, Meg Tennant's new CD Echoed Light. I am lucky to know a whole bunch of talented musicians. Meg is among the best. Great lyrics, beautiful voice, an amazing team of musicians and singers, and damn fine arrangements. What more could you want in a CD?"
