Meels has signed with Nashville-based Lost Highway Records.

Born Amelia Einhorn and raised in Mill Valley, California, Meels picked up the piano at age five and began songwriting soon after. After studying Recorded Music at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute, she began recording original music, a sound she has dubbed “Critter Country.”

She is set to release her new EP, Across The Raccoon Strait, on Jan. 30. The seven-track project was written by Meels, and she produced them alongside Peter Groenwald and Mark Campbell. The EP features previously released tracks “The Wizard,” “Willow Song” and “Vultures.”

“Lost Highway has a legacy that means so much to me, both as a listener and a songwriter,” shares Meels. “I’m incredibly thankful to be working with such a dedicated team and to release music through the same label that once carried so many of my idols.”

“At the heart of her artistry, Meels paints a vivid picture with her music through a lens that simultaneously feels familiar yet uniquely her own,” adds Robert Knotts and Jake Gear, Executive Vice Presidents and Co-Heads of Lost Highway. “With her upcoming project, Across the Raccoon Strait, she invites the listener into a world she has created that feels lived in and at home, and we are excited to help build upon that world and her vision together. Championing unique and artistic voices is paramount to the foundation of Lost Highway and in that spirit, we are honored Meels has agreed to join the Lost Highway family. We cannot wait to bring her songs and artistic voice to the world!”

Following two headline shows, she will open for Margo Price in late February and early March. In April, Meels will join Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their “All The Good Times: The Farewell Tour.”
