MELD’s music is an eclectic soulful journey. Drawing inspiration from her two favorite genres, Progressive Jazz and Jam band music, she has created a unique fusion of musical elements. People have likened her performance to that of a “modern day” Janis Joplin meets Hiatus Kaiyote.
In January of 2017, MELD released her debut EP “H.U.R.T.” (Healing Under Rising Truth.) The 5-song work was produced by Matt Harris of Livetronica band, Zoogma, and can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Tidal, YouTube and more. Her single “Easy On The Game” received nods from Nylon Magazine, BTRToday, No Country for New Nashville, YabYum Arts, Syracuse New Times, and several other publications- ultimately landing the single on Hype Machine. The “H.U.R.T.” remix album was released on April 20th, 2018, with collaborations and remixes by Felice, SAER, Daniel Simmons, Spaceship Earth, Waterchild, and Batavia. The albums first single “Leaving You Out (Felice Remix)” was premiered on renowned EDM blog, Dancing Astronaut, and the full album was featured on We Rave You on release day. Now, the single has over 170K listens on Spotify. Most recently, MELD opened for The Main Squeeze in Nashville, TN at Exit/In prior to launching a 30-date summer tour which landed them at Music On The Mothership Festival In Taos, New Mexico, and Sonic Bloom in Colorado. In previous solo projects, MELD (Melanie Dewey,) has had the opportunity to share the stage with jam bands Zoogma, and Brothers Past. MELD’s debut full length album is set for an August 2018 release, and was fully funded on Kickstarter in late 2018.
