Having just returned to Australia from touring the U.S.A and Europe with Jacob Banks, Meg Mac today releases ‘Live At Golden Retriever’ – a special 5 track EP of select songs from her critically acclaimed #1 ARIA album ‘Matter Of Time’. Recorded at Golden Retriever studio in Marrickville over two days with Meg’s live band prior to the release of her album, the sessions captured unique live versions of the first few singles, as well as offering a sneak peak of new music that was yet to be released.
“The Golden Retriever sessions were so special because I had my sister Hannah and my brother Callum on backing vocals. We recorded everything live with the band and didn’t want to use any samples or tracks, so we had to come up with new arrangements for the songs” says Mac.
2022 has marked a mesmerising return to form for the revered Australian singer who saw her third studio album ‘Matter of Time’ taking out the coveted #1 position in the ARIA National Album Chart. The album also charted as #1 Australian Artist Album and #1 Vinyl Album during release week and was Mac’s first ever #1 album, her two previous albums, 2017’s ‘Low Blows’ and 2019’s ‘Hope’ both peaked at #2 and #9, respectively. ‘Matter of Time’ is a record that builds on Mac’s award-winning foundations and sends them to new places of clarity and ambition. Press reviews praised it as “her most compelling body of work yet” and “a grand statement”.
Crossing over to the live sector, Mac’s shows have been described as “A badass masterclass in flexing God-given talent. Meg is professionalism defined”. In June, Meg returned to the stage with sold out national tour which ended in a mesmerising closing night as part of this year’s Vivid Festival at the Sydney Opera House. She has also just spent the last two months touring around the U.S.A and Europe supporting Jacob Banks.
