After eight years of active-duty military service\, MacGregor started law school. It was during her third semester (with the COVID pandemic in full swing) that her grandmother died\, her car broke down\, her dog got sick\, and her (now ex-) husband ran off with a blonde to Texas. With her father's encouragement\, she picked up her old six-string and started writing songs.

Her lyrics\, melodies\, and storylines help the lonely feel less alone and find laughter in life's heartbreak   her music sounds like home. She's quickly become one of Jackson's favorite songwriters and storytellers\, performing at The Amp\, Hub City Brewing\, The Tavern\, and other local spots.\n\n\n\nIn addition to performing around West Tennessee\, MacGregor has toured nationally\, shared festival bills with Grammy-nominated artists\, released two studio albums\, and been named one of Jackson's Most Influential Women in 2025.
