New Album “Massive Negroni” Out May 1st
Praise for Massive Negroni
“Come On Up to the House,” her interpretation of the Tom Waits classic. She (Sweet Megg) was inspired by her own family homeplace, a literal and figurative refuge where she grew up in New York City.” - The Bluegrass Situation
“If there is a way to describe Megg in a single word then chameleon might do the job. She never sounds the same from one album to the next…” - Americana Vibes
“It’s the type of material you’d have heard on the dance floors of Texas and Oklahoma in the heyday of western swing, but here presented as a stripped down affair, the sassy chanteuse fronting a quartet that features guitarist Thor Jensen, bassist Dylan Perillo, and drummer Chris Gelb.” - A Green Man Review
“The 12 tracks range from Tom Waits to the 1960s French cabaret singer Barbara to Duke Ellington to ’60s blues and R&B singer Sugar Pie deSanto and elsewhere besides. It’s a genre bending tour de force, if you need any more cliches!” - A Green Man Review
“Sweet Megg and her quartet are a perfect match for the material here. Great arrangements, performances full of swagger and soul, this is a top notch presentation” - A Green Man Review
“From the smoky cabaret halls of Montmartre to the dingy bars of prohibition-era New York, Sweet Megg and her Wayfarers explore the sultry and sometimes crass music of the 1920s and 30s. This new one features songs from the likes of Edith Piaf, Fats Waller, and Billie Holiday, as well as Tom Waits.” - WNCW
"Come On Up to the House" marks Sweet Megg's phonographic return after the album Never Been Home (2025), bringing a sensitive rereading of one of Tom Waits' most emblematic repertoires. - Music for All
“Far from reproducing the original, the singer chooses to reinterpret. The instrumentation follows a stripped path, but full of texture, with acoustic strings, soft atmosphere and a cozy rhythm.” - Music for All
“Megg's version brings the jazz of the song with a spectacular and intimate blues, where a masterful guitar shows its faces sounding fundamental. Of course, with its sighing vocal lines ahead.” - Roadie Music
