Megan Slankard CD discography Megan Slankard Biography 2005 "It's a good sign when the first three songs of a record have you wondering 'why haven't I heard of her before?'" Acoustic Guitar magazine writes about 22-year-old California native Megan Slankard, "Such is the case with Freaky Little Story... Slankard's vocal style is so distinctive that simply naming influences (Ani DiFranco, Alanis Morissette) doesn't do it justice.

"Listening to Slankard sing these lines [in 'Lady is a Pirate'] and playing clean acoustic guitar is like being resurrected from a soulless coma, like receiving CPR after drowning in a vast, monotonous sea of tired music. It's now rather impossible to listen to any other pop/folk singer without thinking that I'm wasting my time...
