Guitarist Meg Toohey has released new music. You’ve probably heard Toohey’s songs before, she’s written for hit TV series and feature films. Her work on the small screen includes Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries, Parenthood, Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl, and other shows on MTV, PBS, and more.
Toohey’s work with The Weepies has also been heard on the silver screen in films including Sex in the City, Friends with Money, Morning Glory, and Last Shift, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015.
Toohey has wowed audiences on The Great White Way playing guitar for Sara Bareilles in the Tony-nominated Waitress: The Musical on Broadway (as well as in live TV performances on shows like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert).

But my songs were not always about myself. They weren’t the brutal truth.
These songs are. I am just putting it all out there.” She does and I’ve added her new music to my playlist.
