Shelter

You're hooked from the first note

"Pulsing, powerful and lovely, Megan Burtt gracefully manipulates words and melody into a sultry delight. Her velvety voice seeps right into your being as she pulls you into the gorgeous foray." Guitar Magazine.

Octave Record's latest release, Shelter, by singer/songwriter Megan Burtt is, an extraordinarily beautiful recording and performance. A must-have for any music lover. Beautifully captured in pure DSD by producer and engineer John McVey, every note and phrase in this amazing work is a show-off piece.

"The first time I listened to Megan's gorgeous voice I was sure it must have been Norah Jones." Paul McGowan

Turn the lights down low, pour yourself a glass of Merlot and close your eyes as singer and songwriter, Megan Burtt's seductive voice and introspective songwriting transport you to another place and time.

In 2010 she released “It Ain’t Love”, a 12-song collection she made with bandmates, among them, Louis Cato (of Jon Batiste and Stay Human, house band for Stephen Colbert, Marcus Miller, Snarky Puppy, and Bobby McFerrin). She worked with the same group for her 2015 release “The Bargain” which charts her recovery from a serious illness with songs that move from darkness to light. In 2013 she released “In Good Company: The Colorado Sessions” a collaborative album of co-writes with Colorado bands including SHEL and Covenhoven.

Megan has toured as a headlining artist, and as support for acts including Gregory Alan Isakov, Mark Cohen, Brett Dennen, Glenn Phillips of Toad The Wet Sprocket, Lissie, Stephen Kellogg and Leanne Rimes. In 2015 she collaborated with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra as a featured artist.
