Inspiration for the "Cat Lady Song" : While watching one of my good friend's many SnapChat stories about her cats, I was inspired to write this ridiculous "Cat Lady Song"... And.... somehow I was talked into releasing it as my gift of ridiculousness to the world (aka to anyone who cares to spend two and a half minutes of their life listening/watching haha!)
In case you didn't notice, we pulled out the 90's for this one:)
We decided to give the song a 90's style, throwback music production... which, in turn, inspired a 90's (Faith Hill/Trisha Yearwood/The Judds) inspired music video.... and all the glory that that entails:)
Special Thanks:
I want to thank Derek Cameron of Historic Productions for the video and Joe Casey for producing this song... I'm glad my ridiculousness can be elevated by such talented people:)
I hope you get a kick out of it:)
If you enjoy it, "Cat Lady Song" is available for download on CD baby and iTunes. The links are provided above:)
I'll be using the money made from this song to go towards my new (serious) music project coming out in 2016. I hope you enjoy this song, in all of it's ridiculous glory, as much as I enjoyed making it! Sending Happiness! -Megan Lee
-The "INTRO series" The "INTRO series" is a three part project. It is a musical journey broken up into 3 EPs. Right now I am only working to fund the first EP.
First EP: "INTROduction" The first EP, "INTROduction," is exactly what it sounds like. It is a compilation of 6 songs that introduces the starting point of a journey to find oneself. I will be releasing an acoustic video of one of the songs off this EP soon, so stay tuned!
Second EP: "INTROjection" First off, let me define the term introjection because it's not the same as interjection. Introjection "Is a psychoanalytical term with a variety of meanings. Generally, it is regarded as the process where the subject replicates in itself behaviors, attributes or other fragments of the surrounding world, especially of other subjects."
So, the second installment of this series is all about how we adjust ourselves to our surroundings. It will be a series of songs that observes that adjustment we make as we try to "fit in."
Third EP: "INTROspection" Introspection is "the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes." This EP is all about discovering, and loving, your true self. It also, no surprise here, is the most positive collection of songs out of the whole series.
Right now, I'm just working on releasing the first EP, "INTROduction," of this 3 part "INTRO series." Each EP also has a special poem I have written that will be included in the hard copy of the EP.
I'm extremely excited to get the ball rolling on this project and will be fundraising in order to make this project happen!
"Cat Lady Song" Music Video:
I also have been working to release the zany, fun loving song - "Cat Lady Song" as a way to get the ball rolling on this project. I wanted to put something fun out there, and give you all something back for helping with my "INTRO series" project. I have included clips I took during the making of the "Cat Lady Song" music video at the end of my video blog.
As always, thank you so much for your continuous support and love. Stay up to date by following my social media and my Video Blogs. Links to everything are on this website:)
Hey Everyone! Megan Lee here:) I'm starting a Video/Blog because I want a more personal connection to all of you through my social media. In this first blog I'll be going over different ways that I'm starting to raise funds for my next recording project! I'm really excited to fill you all in on what I have in the works and to take you all on this crazy journey (filled with ridiculousness) with me!
What's Going On:
My first EP:Metamorphosis was a project created to highlight me as a writer for other artists. This project is my first official release as a writer/performer and I'm so, so excited to be putting out new music as an artist! In my efforts to have fun, interactive, and interesting ways to raise funds for this endeavor, I have dreamed up a few ventures (hah, more like adventures) that are coming your way soon! Without further adieu... here's what I'm cookin' up!
Fundraising:
Acoustic Fundraiser: Central New York - Where: Orchard Vali Golf Club LayFayette, NY When: October 23rd, 2015 6pm-10pm
This is a night of acoustic music set to take place at Orchard Vali Golf Club in LaFayette, NY! It will be on October, 23rd from 6pm to 10pm and I will be playing a few sets of music (including new songs that will be on the new project) as well as explaining what the project is. I will also have some friends joining me to play some acoustic sets of originals and covers throughout the evening. The idea is that you get to "Donate" your ticket price at the door and all the funds raised will go towards the new project! There will also be a 50/50 raffle, the kitchen will still be open for it's normal hours if you'd like to get dinner, and the bar will be open until the end of the evening. I'd love to see all my Central New York friends! So please come join us for a good time!
The Cat Lady Song-
Where: Online Donations When: Release set for late October/Early November
No, you're eyes are not deceiving you! I did say "Cat Lady Song!" Inspiration, ever so casually, struck me one day while watching one of my friend's SnapChats about her cats. I finished a funny/annoyingly catchy tune called the "Cat Lady Song" and the rest is history.... haha no, not really. At first, I just sent it to friends as a joke... until I realized how much fun it would be to release this song! Needless to say, I hit up my producer (Joe Casey) and coaxed him into doing a 90's style recording of the "Cat Lady Song." The results. are. glorious! We plan to use this goofy song as a way to make donating to the project, online, fun! The song will be available for free download, but will also have options to donate certain amounts to obtain the download of the song. I want to use this website as the place where you can donate money for the downloads, but it would be through PayPal. I'd really love your input on if that would be something that you would do, or if using a crowdfunding site would be more comfortable. Every cent will be going towards making the project... and the more we raise, the better the final product will be. Please comment on this blog, on my YouTube, or on my Facebook Page about your thoughts on this. I'd really appreciate the input!
Stageit (Online Concerts)- Where: Online When: Throughout November and December
I forgot to mention this in my Video Blog, but I will be doing a few Stageit concerts throughout November and December. Stageit is a way to put on an online, live feed concert where you pay a ticket price to attend and you can tip throughout the show just like a real concert! I've never done one of these, but I thought it'd be a fun, interactive way to raise money for the next project while also giving you all something in return:) I'm planning on doing three different Stageit concerts. One will be a show of all older original music, the next will be a cover concert, and the last will be all new music that will be on the upcoming project! I will be posting all my Stageit concerts on my social media as well as on this website, so keep an eye out for those starting in November! I'm excited to see how they go!
Let's Wrap This Up & Tie A Bow Around It, Shall We?
I'm so pumped to get the ball rollin' on this new chapter in my music career! My life has been filled with so many new things including booking shows, dreaming up different ways to make things happen, and - of course - honing in on the new project!!! My next Video/Blog will be on October 15th, which is two weeks from today, and I will be going over the entire project! I'm so excited and so glad you are all part of this journey! If you have any thoughts, insights, or crazy ideas that you think might help me out, please message me in the comments below or private message me on my Facebook Band Page! I can seriously use all the help I can get and no idea is too crazy (crazier = awesomer)! Haha, is awesomer a word? Anyways, I truly appreciate all of you more than you know! Thank you for the continuous love and support!
Sending Happiness! <3 Megs

The amount of money we raise will dictate the quality of the project:) (I hate making this all about money, but I want to be as clear about what I need and where the money's going as possible!) Until next time! This is Megan Lee signing off!
This Is a fundraising event to raise money for Megan's next recording project! It will be a night of live music mixed with socializing. The dining room will be open to order dinner during normal dining hours and the bar will be open until the even is finished! Come join us and support Megan and her next original music endeavor!
