    <title>MEIKO</title>
    <description>I grew up in Roberta, Georgia (pop. 808)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd have to say my biggest influence is my dad. He played guitar and sang for me ever since I was a baby. His music was the only thing I ever listened to as a kid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And...Whoever bought me that Mariah Carey tape "Emotions" did me a huge favor... I would practice singing to her every day. I owe my lucky ear to my dad and that tape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time I sang in public was at an all black Southern Baptist church on Christmas Eve when I was 8. For some reason I decided to sing "White Christmas..." I just recently realized the humor in that -- but luckily at the time, everyone thought it was cute...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon after, I started singing in talent shows and would do the National Anthem for opening day of Little League baseball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would always act like i could play my dad's Gibson -- 'till he was getting pissed that I kept knocking it around...So he bought me my very own guitar when I was 13. As soon as I learned a new chord -- I wrote a new song...And that's pretty much how it goes.&lt;br /&gt;____________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TOUR DATES WITH JEWEL!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct 27 2009&lt;br /&gt;8:00P&lt;br /&gt;Lyric Opera House&lt;br /&gt;Baltimore, Maryland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct 28 2009&lt;br /&gt;8:00P&lt;br /&gt;Knight Theatre&lt;br /&gt;Charlotte, North Carolina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct 29 2009&lt;br /&gt;8:00P&lt;br /&gt;Carolina Theatre of Durham&lt;br /&gt;Durham, North Carolina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct 30 2009&lt;br /&gt;8:00P&lt;br /&gt;Alys Robinson Stephens PAC&lt;br /&gt;Birmingham, Alabama&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct 31 2009&lt;br /&gt;8:00P&lt;br /&gt;King Center for the Performing Arts&lt;br /&gt;Melbourne, Florida&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nov 1 2009&lt;br /&gt;8:00P&lt;br /&gt;Barbara B Mann PA Hall&lt;br /&gt;Ft.

      <description>Hellooooooooooooo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quick update from the road with some coool news...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I wanted to tell you what a GREAT time I've been having on my first-ever tour of England with Joshua Radin - yall have made me feel so at home, and I totally appreciate the warmth! ("wicked" is my new favorite word!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to be here more often because Im in love with this place!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to the cool news - I've FINALLY got a single available on iTunes UK today!  Yayayayayayayay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first one we're releasing on iTunes UK (and also in the Amazon MP3 Download store) is "Under My Bed"...the two "B-sides" are an acoustic version of "Sleep", and the version of "Under My Bed" that I recorded for a Daytrotter.com session...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It'd mean the world to me if you would go to iTunes or Amazon, buy the single, and leave a nice comment in the 'review' section - and please tell your friends!!  Help support the little guy... pleeeeease!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a link to where you can go to buy the music:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://links.imeem.com/243OFG78o_" title="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=324293572&amp;s=143444"&gt;http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=324293572&amp;s=143444&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks in advance - and if you haven't been able to come see me play, I'll be at The Fly in London tonight (Monday), the O2 Academy 2 in Bristol tomorrow, and the O2 Academy 2 in Oxford on Wednesday - please come out and say hi!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a good week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*meiko</description>
