Meg Davis is an American singer of traditional music. She is also a songwriter, best known for her classic ballad "Captain Jack and the Mermaid". She is known primarily as a folk musician and folklorist specializing in historical ballads as well as a composer of stories and music in the same genre as Donovan and Fairport Convention. Her solo performances throughout the festivals, concert halls and cathedrals throughout the USA, Scotland, Wales, England, Ireland and Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome have gained her a reputation as a first rate musician and vocalist. Meg has won the respect of her fellow Irish/American musicians for her sensitive and powerful renderings of traditional Celtic songs, and sea ballads, and for her beautiful guitar accompaniment of Scottish, Irish and Breton dance tunes. She has put these talents to use as a long-standing member of the Joe Burke Trio whose leader is the legendary Galway button accordionist. In addition to her regular appearances with Joe Burke, Meg also performed and appeared on stage with such diverse musicians as Bill Monroe, Alan Stivell, Doc Watson, Pete Seeger, Ewan Maccoll and Peter Yarrow to name just a few.
