Dooley Noted
Being only 21 years old, Megan Dooley has severely shown us that she's here to stay in the scene, if not to also push forward and grasp the unknown. Writing music from the bottom of her heart, with a lot of attitude and style- Dooley constantly proves that there are female artists not dragging on the genre, not whining their little sob stories for everyone to hear- But singing strong and proud about their life experiences, and showing them that we can hang with the best and worst of them all.
