You know what it’s like when Jolene comes on and the whole table starts singing along? Meghan Clarisse is a Denver singer-songwriter who calls what she does “music with country roots and cowgirl boots,” and she plays the country songs your guests love alongside her own. She can play on her own at a dinner, bring pedal steel or electric guitar as a duo, or bring a five-piece band to get people dancing.

Trusted and booked by
Meghan’s album Shadows of a Ghost Town won the 2026 Josie Music Award for Folk/Americana Album of the Year. The Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame gave her its Golden Star Award in 2026, and her duo won its Duo of the Year award in 2025. You may have seen her on Great Day Colorado or Colorado & Company, too.
Her usual style is a little vintage cowgirl, and that’s a lot of fun if you want a country feel. If your event is more formal, she can dress up or wear all black, too.
When she’s not performing, Meghan volunteers with Musicians On Call, playing live music for patients at Children’s Hospital and the VA in Denver.
Configurations
| Size | What it suits |
|---|---|
| SoloVoice and acoustic guitar, sometimes keys | On her own, she’s a lovely choice for welcome drinks, patios and dinners, and she fits easily into a home. |
| DuoVoice and rhythm guitar, plus pedal steel or electric lead guitar | Pedal steel is the sliding, singing guitar you hear on classic country records, and it gives a duo a much bigger country sound. |
| Five-piece bandLead and harmony vocals, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, pedal steel, bass and drums | This is her full band, and it’s the size to book when you want people dancing at a wedding reception or a big party. |
Send us your date and we’ll help you choose the size that works best. She can put a trio together, too, if that’s a better fit.
Occasions
Perfect booking for
- Country and ranch weddings
- Book her solo or as a duo for your ceremony or cocktail hour, and bring in the five-piece band for the reception.
- Birthdays and private parties
- She’s a lot of fun at a birthday or an anniversary when your guests love country music, and a solo or a duo is an easy fit at home.
- Office holiday parties
- Dolly Parton and Fleetwood Mac both go over well with a mixed crowd. Book the five-piece band if you want a dance floor, or the duo if your party is more of a dinner.
- Retreats and welcome receptions
- If your team is flying in from out of state, a Colorado songwriter with a pedal steel player beside her is a fun way to welcome them to the West.
