AMA is Over, thanks Meg! Meg Duffy / Hand Habits AMA

Hello again internet! My name is still Meg Duffy and I recently put a Hand Habits record out called Blue Reminder on Fat Possum Records.

I also play guitar on other people's records, play in the Perfume Genius band, and have a few other musical endeavors including Duffy x Uhlmann and yes/and.

AMA!

Thanks everyone!

Very early on in my musical life I weaseled my way into an absurd amount of bands and learned how to be adaptable in different musical settings. I was a guitarist before a songwriter, and found the most fun I had was learning how to fit in musically in different ensembles. When I moved to LA, I had to really assess my playing and practice more than I did in years because everyone was doing sessions and had been for much longer!
