Megan is a lot of fun, and the video is typical of her wry sense of things. If you don't dig unusual approaches to lap steel just keep on moving.

OK maybe not.... try this link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAypnmdiCEk

Thanks for the link Keith, I really enjoyed that
What guitar is that shes playing?

It's a real early Oahu Tonemaster. She is using an Asher EH these days, it's a beauty.

Thanks for the post Keith. Reminds me a bit of Cowboy Junkies. It's good to see a young ambassador of lap steel out there hitting audiences unfamiliar with the potentials of the instrument.

I just saw the Last Town Chorus recently in San Francisco at Slim's opening for the Canadian band the Weakerthans. Megan Hickey has a unique style, with a good use of echo and distortion. Nowadays she's playing an Asher lap steel instead of her Oahu Tonemaster.

She's taking a very interesting approach to playing, and I look forward to seeing how she develops her style. I really like her latest CD "Wire Waltz".
