About Megan Curran: 

A versatile collaborator and leader, Megan Curran finds inspiration in classic jazz compositions, seeking to enliven them with thoughtful interpretation. A favored freelance solo pianist and nuanced accompanist, Curran particularly enjoys the interplay of the trio format, the connections between musicians and the creative exchange of ideas that occurs organically in performance. Like many musicians, Curran played in church from a young age. She continued her studies with Tony Caramia and Michael Kocour at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and played in jazz bands there. She has performed extensively at venues throughout the Chicago area, including FitzGeraldʼs, the Green Mill, and the Woodstock Jazz Festival. Living musical heroes include Benny Green, Michel Camilo and Kenny Barron. Megan Curran continues exploring the jazz canon with her trio, and plans to record in 2023. She performs regularly as a member of the Outcast Jazz Band, and shares her music with joy.
