Coming to the American Woodmark stage at the Loft 129! Megan Jean and Byrne Klay!

Singer/Songwriter Megan Jean and multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Byrne
Klay are a married musical collaboration that began in New York City in
2004 while Jean was studying theatre at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts
and Klay jazz at New School University. Beginning with a residency at
CBGB's Acoustic Gallery, the pair would perform near 2,000 times as
Megan Jean & the KFB, sharing the stage with Charles Bradley, Shovels
and Rope, Amythyst Kiah, Reverend Peytons Big Damn Band, Paul Barrere
and Fred Tackett of Little Feat, and 10,000 Maniacs. As a duo, they have
been featured on PBS’s Music Voyager, Heartland Network's More Than the
Music, won Floydfest’s On The Rise Competition, and played the Kennedy
Center’s Millennium Stage. As a soloist Megan Jean has perfomed with Dre
Anders, Jake Blount, and Gangstagrass, where her voice being featured in
the 2020 Presidential Inauguration Parade. B yrne has a wide array of
musical experience. In the early 2000's he did multiple tours of Japan,
Taiwan, Europe, and Australia as the bassist for Dynamite Club, an
outrageous punk outfit. In 2022 he began performing on upright bass with
bluegrass band Folk 'Em All Trio, who were hired to back up the
legendary Joe Craven at Delfest three years in a row as Joe Craven and
the Y'allterations.

In 2020 they relocated to Frostburg MD and formed the country and
Americana tinged rock band Megan Jean's Secret Family, with performances
on NPR's Mountain Stage and Delfest in 2024. The dup is an intimate
songwriting and story telling focused act that showcases the wide
nuances of the pair's musicality, with Jean on bass as the backbone to
her masterful vocals, and Byrne showcasing his eclectic musicality on
electric banjo.
