Roots Music Report

Meghan and Caitlin Foley are a singer/songwriter sister duo who write songs that appeal to all ages and backgrounds. They describe their sound as “acoustic indie pop”, but each song is a completely new experience. Catchy melodies combined with their powerful lyrics and harmonies create feelings that stay with you long after the songs are over. The driving force behind their music is their ability to relate to their audience and explore problems others are sometimes afraid to talk about. They write about their own experiences and focus on spreading positive messages and letting people know they are not alone.

21-year-old Meghan, the older of the two, has been writing and performing her music for over 10 years. In 2015 she won the fan favorite in the Suburban Chicago’s Got Talent, an award that was given out based on votes from listeners and fans. You can catch her rocking on guitar and singing the more delicate, high notes, but don’t be fooled: she has a powerful voice as well.

19-year-old Caitlin started her singing career on the family’s coffee table at age 2. After teaching herself piano at age 13, she started writing her own songs and performing at open mic nights. You can find her either on the keys or strutting around the stage with her powerful, naturally raspy voice that will take you by surprise.

Although they started out as solo artists, the two ultimately decided they were better together, after years of urging by their family. They began writing songs in early 2016, and since then have seen plenty of local success, first in Willowbrook High School’s Battle of the Bands where they took first place, and more recently onstage opening for bands like the BoDeans and the Fab Four. Meghan & Caitlin have played at many venues including Anaheim's Pearson Park Ampitheater, Villa Park Summerfest, the Arcada Theater, Reggie’s Rock Club, and Q Bar.

In 2017 they released their first pop EP produced by Sam Hawksley in Nashville. Since then, their sound has evolved and matured with them. The first taste of this new sound is their newest single "Mean", an emotional song about their struggle with bullying. The sisters currently work with Schnauz Records in Chicago and are excited to release an album in Fall 2019.

This is only the beginning for the girls. They believe in their music and the messages they write. Alone, they are talented; together they are unstoppable.
