about
After 12 years, 3 albums and a Top20- Hit with the Swiss rockers Redwood, the time came in 2008 for the bands lead singer Lesley Meguid to go her own way as a solo artist. She joined forces with the gifted Kiwi producer Matt Thomas to record her debut solo album “The Truth About Love Songs”. The project began in her home town of New York City, with the help of a new found fan and legendary drummer Steve Gadd (Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton). The project then travelled to New Zealand, where the multi-platinum artists Geoff Maddock (Goldenhorse), Gareth Thomas (Goodshirt) and Matt Thomas (The Feelers) contributed with their talents. The final touches were added once again in New York by brass instrumentalist Tony Garruso (Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Sting). Now the Swiss-American singer-songwriter is back in Switzerland to present her first solo album. “The Truth About Love Songs” describes the whirlwind of this great adventure. It all started in January 2007, when Redwood toured Europe with New Zealand's rock trio The Feelers. Lesley Meguid fell head over heels in love with bassist Matt Thomas: “He was bearded, wore old man pants, and off stage, not a rock star at all!” Soon after that, Matt introduced her to New Zealand. They slept in his Nissan station wagon, swam in the sea, played music on the black sand and filled their bellies with shellfish. In 2008 Lesley took the plunge and moved to New Zealand to be with her “Caravan Man” and fulfill her lifelong dream
