Meade is a child of the millennium, yet his guitar style is descendant from the 70’s classic rock age with notes that writhe like exposed nerves. With songs that talk about corrupted love, cocaine, prison, church, and the hard living of the common working man, it’s rather surprising to learn that Meade nearly followed in his father’s footsteps as a church minister.
It was his brief stint as a worship leader at his father’s church in Brenham, Texas that put him on the path to music. Growing up at countless rock concerts with his father cultivated his ambition to be an original artist. A former drummer, Meade played in a cover band for years while earning his business degree at Texas A&M in College Station before he peeled back another layer of himself and found a songwriter dwelling there.
Now the frontman of his own band slinging guitar licks with expert precision, his music rolled out with two releases in 2014, his first EP “Long Ways To Go” followed by his first full-length album “Chief Of The Sinners.” His next EP “Heartbreak Coming” came in 2016 with a couple of singles to announce his commencement on the Texas Music Chart. Meade’s second full-length album “Waves” was a perfect ride into a new direction.
Now based in New Braunfels, Texas with a tour schedule stretching outside the Lone Star state, Austin’s latest 2020 releases, “Happier Alone” “Dopamine Drop” and “Cave In” have boosted his following to a new level.
