At 12, Megan Rakesh is well on her way to becoming a rock and roll legend in India and she’s already put in a few years of hard work. Her band, Meg and the Miracles, will take the stage at Rainbow Bridge Academy with a slightly different set up than the loud, big-stage rock performances she’s used to giving. The Artist Showcase Concert Series at Rainbow Bridge will see Meg and the Miracles in a more intimate setting, though that likely won’t stop Megan from bringing out her distinctive powerhouse vocals. A typical show usually includes everything from rock and roll to R&B and country, as well as her own songs like ‘Find My Way.’
Megan says, “This event is extremely special and is dedicated to my dog Cooper who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 25th last year. One can expect a spectacular vocal performance with my dynamic six-piece band which includes covers of Janis Joplin, Ronnie James Dio, Beth Hart, Guns N’ Roses, Led Zeppelin, Prince, Mr. Big to name a few and we will be playing some of my new, unreleased material as well from my upcoming EP Unforgiven,
