Meg Hutchinson is a nationally touring songwriter, poet, and recording artist on Red House Records. 

She has released nine albums, two poetry collections, and won numerous songwriting awards in the US, Ireland and the UK. Meg has received recognition from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Billboard Song Contest, and won awards at music festivals across the country, including Merlefest, NewSong, Kerrville, Telluride and Rocky Mountain.

She has been described as delivering “Music as powerful as it is gentle.” Performer Magazine writes, “With a poet’s eye, Hutchinson captures so beautifully that human journey toward peace, toward forgiveness, toward acceptance.”

In recent years, as a result of the messages in her songwriting and her dedication to mental health literacy, Meg has increasingly been asked to be a keynote speaker at universities, conferences and teaching hospitals around the country. She joined the Active Minds Speakers Bureau in 2014, working together to change the conversation about mental health at colleges nationwide.

On her latest album, “All the Wonder, All the Beauty” Hutchinson once again teamed up with esteemed producer Crit Harmon who she has worked with for 20 years. These are songs of transition, of letting go, of grief, and of discovery.

Working with long-time collaborators guitarist Kevin Barry (Jackson Browne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ray Lamontagne) and bassist Richard Gates (Richard Thompson, The Weepies, Mary Gauthier) this album is her first with drummer Marco Giovino (Norah Jones, Robert Plant, Patty Griffin).

These world class musicians play with remarkable emotional intelligence. They bring a sensitivity, a dynamic range, and a warmth that is at the heart of this hauntingly beautiful soundscape.

There is an optimism that shines even more brightly the further in Hutchinson goes. This is an artist who never stops exploring the depths of the human experience, and the joy and freedom gained in this process are tangible. Hutchinson’s music has an intimacy that makes you feel that whatever it is you are going through, you are not alone.

Meg is a hospice & palliative care chaplain in Boston. She is currently working on a memoir that she describes as “a love song to living.”
