Melanie A. Davis — live event on Nov 13, 2024
Melanie A. Davis at Rockwood Music Hall, New York on Wed, Nov 13, 7:00 PM. Free entry. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.
Emanating from the low hills of western Kentucky (Murray, KY) are the unmistakable songs of Melanie A. Davis. A performer at heart and writer by trade, her ability to craft simultaneously poignant and liberating tunes is steeped in an appreciation for the nuances of human relationships. Whether contemplating the potential of her immediate community, reflecting the global zeitgeist, or considering her own vices, she never shies away from the glaring truths therein. A classically trained vocalist and self-taught guitarist, Davis floats her distinctive voice overtop fingerstyle guitar that oscillates from the Appalachian picking tradition to bossa nova-inspired rhythms. With a clear emphasis on poet lyricism that cuts as much as it soothes, she takes clear inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bobbie Gentry, and Joan Baez. Noctalgia, Davis’ fourth full-length album and the first to feature her full-band outfit, Melanie A. Davis & The Madness, is set to release on November 8, 2024. A love letter to the fading night sky that’s slowly “disappearing” from our perspective due to climate change, the 10-track collection features tongue-in-cheek doo-wop (“people are dying to get in here, you know), an intimate lounge feel (“Noctalgia” and “Golden Lasso”), and honky tonk (“Ursa Major”), among others. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Shelby Preklas at Loud & Clear Studios in Paducah, Kentucky.
