Meghan Linsey


Meghan Linsey (born December 10, 1985) is an American country singer-songwriter from Ponchatoula, Lousiana who was the runner-up on season 8 of the Voice USA, mentored by Blake Shelton. 

Born and raised in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, Meghan first gained notice as one-half of the country duo Steel Magnolia, which she formed with her then-fiance Joshua Scott Jones. The duo competed in and won season 2 of the ABC show Can You Duet. They signed a deal with Big Machine Records and released their debut single "Keep On Lovin You", which became a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, in 2009. They released thier self-titled EP on February 23, 2010. Their debut album was released on January 11, 2011 and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. However, due to a drug problem, Joshua Scott Jones entered rehab before he and Meghan were scheduled to hit the road with Reba McEntire. Singer James Otto subbed for Jones during that tour. They later left Big Machine Records in January 2012. 

Meghan's personal relationship with Jones ended in 2011 with their professional partnership ending in 2014. She later released a solo EP independently in 2014 as well as several singles. 

Meghan auditioned for the Voice USA with her take of "Love Hurts" by the Scottish band Nazareth. Three coaches- Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, and Pharrell Williams- turning around for her. She chose Pharrell as her coach.

As is customary for The Voice finales, Meghan Linsey premiered a brand-new song during Monday night’s (May 18, 2015) penultimate episode - but unlike many finalists, Linsey co-wrote her new tune herself.
The song is called “Change My Mind,” and you can hear it and see Linsey’s new music video for the song above. During Monday night’s show, Linsey performed the song dressed in a slinky blue dress, on a icy-looking stage, smoky dry ice billowing around the stage floor.
Linsey told Shelton that the song is a few years old and was inspired by and written during a bad relationship. As country fans know, Linsey and her then-boyfriend, Joshua Scott Jones, made up the duo Steel Magnolia, who rose to fame on the TV competition show Can You Duet? They released an album in early 2011, and Jones entered drug rehab that fall. The couple broke up, both personally and professionally, shortly thereafter.
“Change My Mind” is now available for download on iTunes.
