Meredith was the original bassist and backing vocals for Family of the Year. After leaving the band, she toured as support on first leg of Marina and the Diamonds' The Lonely Hearts Club Tour. She also toured with Dando-led The Lemonheads. At least for some time in 2012 she appeared on stage with Jen Turner, bassist, as part of a project referred to in the contemporary reviews as Alamar. In 2013 and 2014 she toured in support of Johnny Marr, opening for all his shows.
Personal information
She lives on Martha's Vineyard.
The Bandcamp-downloadable studio music represents material the artist has been working on for several years. A full-length studio album is to be completed "as a present to myself... and to you!" by Christmas 2014 and published shortly thereafter.
She maintains a very low social media profile, having made public her disinclination to participate in Facebook or Twitter; in fact, the Facebook page listed under her name as a musician is a self-admitted fan page.
