Megan and Shane

Nashville Americana duo Megan and Shane Baskerville’s new album Peaks and Valleys encompasses one of the great love stories of our time. Its songs chronicle their odyssey from humble punk rock beginnings in Minnesota’s frozen wastelands to their time in the mystic deserts of the Southwest to their new lives in Music City U.S.A. They connected with multi-Grammy-winning engineer Brandon Bell (Brandi Carlile, The Highwomen, Alison Krauss) and an all-star cast of players to bring Peaks and Valleys to life.

“We knew we needed someone to push us,” says Megan. “So we looked at all the records that we really loved in that year, and the records we love in general. The same name kept popping up. Brandon Bell.”

Peaks and Valleys reflects the duo's punk roots, as well as their appreciation for storytelling troubadours like John Prine and Margot Price. It’s a self-aware opus of hope, healing and change. They confronted raw wounds and are now happier and more in love than ever. They’re excited to play shows and win people over one person at a time with a duo tour in April, then a full band tour and performance at Today Nashville in June. Nashville may be crazy, but this duo has found a home in a circle of good-hearted musicians who are all making music that matters together.
