Live Music by Megan Brickwood | Woodinville

Megan Brickwood’s debut album All the Same is a testament to the transformative power of change and self-discovery. Born from a journey that took her from Los Angeles to her hometown of Redding, and ultimately to Seattle, this collection of songs chronicles Brickwood’s quest for authenticity and purpose.

Recorded at Bear Creek Studio with producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile), All the Same showcases Brickwood’s intimate songwriting elevated by a cadre of Seattle’s finest musicians. The album draws inspiration from a diverse array of influences, from poets Mary Oliver and Linda Gregg to musical icons like Nick Drake, Aimee Mann, Joan Baez, and Joni Mitchell.

The album’s three pivotal tracks – “All the Same,” “Broken in the Middle,” and “Nothing New” – serve as cornerstones of Brickwood’s artistic vision. The title track opens with a hypnotic DADGAD tuning, while “Broken in the Middle” pays homage to timeless folk traditions with innovative production touches. “Nothing New” stands as Brickwood’s most politically charged offering, tackling weighty themes while maintaining an intimate connection with the listener.

Brickwood’s sound, while rooted in Americana and folk, defies easy categorization. All the Same is a sonic companion for those seeking solace in the space between folk tradition and indie innovation.
