Avon Lake Singer Releases New Album, Hosting Free Show

Avon Lake’s Megan Zurkey, who was recently featured on Cleveland's The Voice competition, has just released a new EP titled Dollhouse.

Zurkey said Dollhouse is a mix of singer/songwriter style, pop and country.

“This EP is a collection of new songs that I've been working on since the summer of 2011,” she said. “I wrote all the music and lyrics. The producer/mixer was Jack Dill (a former Merple) who lives in LA.

“The guitar was all done by Bill Scott, a member of one of Jack's bands in Los Angeles.”

The busy singer will also be offering a free show on Saturday, Jan. 21 from 9 p/m. – midnight at in Lakewood. She will be performing as a duo with guitarist Patrick Scanlon. Admission is free.

Completing the EP was a big step for Zurkey, who appropriately works for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum as a membership service representative.

“I am so very excited this EP is finally done,” she said. “It has taken longer than I was hoping for, but taught me patience and showed me that good things take time. The music wouldn't be right if we rushed the process. It's like a journal of this chapter of my life that can't be taken away. This is why I love songwriting.”

The EP (extended-play-single) is available on several online stores and in print, including iTunes, eMusic, Amazon mp3, Zune and Rhapsody and more. It can also be streamed from Zurkey’s website, www.meganzurkey.com or at www.reverbnation.com/meganzurkey .
