New Cheesy Guilty Pleasure Of Mine: Meiko

I rarely like things that show up in my inbox, but for some reason I clicked through when I got an email about this singer-songwriter Meiko. Maybe because she was LA-based, and I happen to be in LA at the moment. You know what they say about "when in Rome..."

Anyhoo, for some reason I also liked it, and I sort of feel like a teenager for saying it. Perhaps I'm having my mid-life crisis? I don't know. I do feel like I'm going through a second adolescence. I think there is something to Meiko's music, even if its sound is super mainstream. I guess what I am saying is that I like it, but I can't seem to pinpoint why!?!

Here are her tour dates with Joe Purdy... why no New York dates?
