Picky New Promotions are proud to bring you a headline show featuring Northampton's own local hero MEGAPHONEY on Fri, Nov 20, at The Lab, Megaphoney is the solo project of Northampton-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Peter Marchant, whose uplifting, nostalgic songwriting draws deeply from the classic rock and singer-songwriter records that shaped his musical upbringing.
