Blessed with a sublime voice and musical maturity beyond her years, Megan Washington is a major talent on the Australian music scene. Part indie, part folk and part jazz, the new musical collaboration between 23 year-old Megan Washington and jazz veteran Paul Grabowsky has been described as the strawberries and cream of the music world. Her uncommonly beautiful voice has the ability to float from note to note with complete naturalness and her poetic lyrics are filled with striking imagery.
