MUSIC BIO:

Angela Meyer keeps audiences coming back to share in the human experience through her honest writing and dynamic performances.  She innately understands being in the audience as she grew up in a family of country musicians and fans of the genre.  At 10 years old, her grandparents gave her a guitar for Christmas and her Grandma Darlene taught her those first three chords to play along with the songs coming out of their record player.  Angela started to write her own songs at fifteen and quickly made it into her career.  “Legions & Legends” is Angela Meyer's latest release and can be found anywhere music is bought or streamed.  Tune into WQUD 107.7 fm each Saturday from 2-5pm for "Muddy Water Radio" bringing the best of country, western, and rodeo tunes to the airwaves across the Quad Cities or from anywhere in the world via online streaming.
