Voice of an Angel with the guitar of the Devil
The Last Town Chorus features the gorgeous singing and playing of one Megan Hickey. LTC has found a minor amount of fame with a cover of David Bowie's "Modern Love," slowed down for steel guitar. But the real beauty is Hickey's own music and lyrics which are just as wonderful live as they ever could be on a studio recording.
