American Idol’s Megan Ruger releases new rock CD


Broad Horizon Records is pleased to announce that after doing the country thing in Nashville for a few years while appearing on American Idol (Season 10) and The Voice (Season 6 – Team Blake) Megan Ruger has reverted back to her rock n roll roots on the latest CD entitled appropriately; Rockstar.

Rockstar showcases 7 original songs; sort of a cross between Halestorm & Pink with musicians from Taylor Swift, Leanne Rimes, Lonestar, and Cinderella, and features the single RED.
While Megan just completed a 2 month engagement at The Plaza in Las Vegas with Idol Contestant James Durbin and Voice contestant Will Champlin, she is currently back home in Nashville filming AMERICAN SUPERGROUP for POP TV which airs on TUES nights (check local listings for times).
Her powerful voice and command of the stage combined with her punk rock look help her to stand out in any crowd, but it’s her genuine, spunky personality that leaves a lasting impression on everyone around her.
A “non hippie version of Janis Joplin” according to American Supergroup house bandmate, Megan brings her style to an old classic on the Season opener prompting one of the band to exclaim, “the girl’s got pipes!”.
She has opened for Joe Nichols, Foreigner, and Joan Jett (who she cites as her musical influence) as well as sung the National Anthem on Network Television for NASCAR at The Dover Speedway.

Megan continues to inspire people through her music as well as with her volunteer work for children with special need and underprivileged children. “I just like making people smile” says the singer with the million dollar grin, “and if I can bring a little happiness through my music or my actions, what a great thing, you know?”.
