Meade has released 3 Albums, including a vinyl release featuring "My Loudoun County Home"- a tribute to his upbringing in Loudoun County, Virginia. Combined with a heartache meets humor style, he puts pop, country, jazz, americana, and gospel music into a blender and calls it his own. His expressive tenor voice, and keyboard licks, always seem to compliment the songs he writes. Blessed with that good 'ol Southern charm, Meade oozes a Countrypolitan demeaner, usually dressed in his favorite blazer , cowboy boots, and vintage Western Cowboy shirts. As a member of Tabernacle Baptist Church, Meade also performs with The Meadow Street Band , and is a part of the music ministry. He has also played such famous venues as The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, and America's Cup of Polo in 2008 at Morven Park, Virginia. Meade has been dubbed Richmond's own "Piano playin' cowboy", switching from simple love ballads, to rollicking country flavored rock n' roll tunes. There's a lot of variety in Meade's music, gaining him fans, all up and down the East Coast !
