April Meservy (/mɪˈsɜːrvi/ mih-SUR-vee) is an independent[1] singer/songwriter.

History

Meservy performed in Salt Lake City's Olympic Square during the 2002 Winter Olympics.

She self-released her first album, Somewhere Between Sunsets, in early 2010, on her Forêt d'Musique (Jèrriais: "Forest of Music") label.

In 2017, her cover of U2's "With or Without You" was selected by Canadian pair figure skaters Eric Radford and Meagan Duhamel for their short program for the season and into the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games, where they won team gold and individual bronze medals.[2] Meservy's rendition reached the Top 40 on iTunes.[3][4]

In 2018, she released an EP, The Good-Morrow.[5]

In 2019, she starred as Charity Barnum, alongside Sam Humphrey, Chelsea Caso, Martha Nichols, Mishay Petronelli, Luciano Acuna Jr., and David Osmond, in a special production of The Greatest Showman, featuring live performances synchronized with film footage.[6]
