The early songs she wrote were soon noted by bassist Sarah Brown (Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt) and guitar virtuoso Steve James, who persuaded her to record a demo of her original songs in Austin, Texas. That led to a record contract with Lazy S.O.B. Recordings and the release of her first full-length album, "River Under The Road." Featuring the title track co-written by Egge, Sarah Brown and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. The following year, the Austin Music Awards named Egge, then nineteen, their “Best Singer/Songwriter” and “Best Folk Artist”.

Next Egge was invited on tour by several luminaries, including Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Iris DeMent, Shawn Colvin and Ron Sexsmith. On her solo tour in 1999, she recorded her first live album "Mile Marker" which highlights her guitar talents. She later shared the stage with John Prine, Lucinda Williams, and Sinéad O'Connor. After a few years of constant touring, Egge retreated back to Silver City, New Mexico where she began building her own desert house and spending time with family. In 2002, after writing some of the songs for her next record, Egge resettled in Brooklyn, New York.

Brooklyn was where she met bassist Jason Mercer (Ani DiFranco, Ron Sexsmith). They began recording demos of Egge's new songs. Singer/songwriter Ron Sexsmith, guitarist Tony Scherr and trumpeter Shane Endsley joined their efforts and the result was "Out Past the Lights" which received critical acclaim.[1] "Listen to the lyrics," Lucinda Williams urged an audience one night after the album was out. "She’s a folk Nina Simone."

Egge’s Lazy Days was released on November 13, 2007. It is a covers album made up of songs on the theme of laziness.[2] On Lazy Days, she covers The Kinks' "Sitting in the Midday Sun", Arcade Fire’s "In the Backseat", The Zombies’ "I Could Spend a Day" and Belle and Sebastian’s "Summer Wastin’", among others.

In July 2007 she won The Mountain Stage New Song Regional Competition in New York City.[3]

Egge released her sixth record, Road to My Love, in February of 2009. Road to My Love was co-produced by her longtime collaborator, Jason Mercer and includes guest musicians Steve Moore, Michael Jerome, Frazey Ford and Trish Klein of The Be Good Tanyas, Adam Levy and Tony Scherr.

She also appears as a guest musician on Joel Plaskett's 2009 album Three and has performed as a backup singer/musician and as a solo artist on his Canadian tour.
