Evanston, IL - Singer Megon McDonough returns to her folk roots with an all-acoustic concert entitled “Megon McDonough: A Girl and Her Guitar” on Saturday, May 23 at 8 p.m. at Skokie Theatre, 7924 Lincoln Ave., Skokie, IL.

In this extraordinary and intimate evening, enjoy songs from some of your favorite songwriters from the 1950s to the 1990s. Megon will take you on a musical journey of her four-decade career, starting with her early influences -- the Beatles, Carole King, Edith Piaf, and Patsy Cline -- followed by some of Megon’s own folk songs, ranging from hilarious (such as the ones she recorded with the group The Four Bitchin’ Babes) to heartfelt hits such as “Amazing Things.”

A resident of Evanston, Megon has been performing professionally since the age of 14. Megon grew up in Crystal Lake, IL, and by the age of 17, she was opening for such folk acts as John Denver, Steve Martin and Harry Chapin.
