Winner of the Miss Virginia title, and going on to compete in the Miss America Pageant, Meghan Shanley discovered an insatiable appetite for meeting fans and making new friends during a life on the road that saw her traveling over 3,000 miles a month in the wake of her win. With a deep love of music, Meghan discovered that she loved touring as well and began to focus on the pursuit of a career in music. It was not long before Meghan’s talent saw her opening shows for national acts and performing on prestigious stages including the Ryman Auditorium and the Wildhorse Saloon. She has been featured on Fine Living Network’s The Genuine Article and performed at the wedding reception of Paula Deen which aired on the Food Network. The original song she performed, “Here,” has become a hit with brides nationwide. Meghan’s platform as Miss Virginia was focused on building self-esteem in kids and several years ago, she launched a speaking program for youth groups and schools. Now, she has published her first book with the same mission. Her latest endeavor marries her passion for kids with her love for music … the first in a children’s book series with a core message: we are each quite special, we all have unique talents, and when we accept ourselves and others, we can make some beautiful music together!
