Hank Heaven • Grace Carney • Sammy Mellman — live event
Grace Carney is a Brooklyn-based songwriter whose music weaves imagistic lyrical vignettes with hypnotic guitar work. They believe in songs as containers for the ineffable forces permeating human experience. Their process and music embody the emergent properties of a song – when sound becomes something more; a spell, a fantasy, a premonition, or a prayer. Grace is honored to be playing their debut show at The Owl, a space and community that has fostered their songwriting, and they are privileged to be joined by Sammy Mellman on piano. Sammy Mellman is a New Jersey-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and high school music teacher. Obsessed with strange chord progressions and melancholy hooks, with a loop pedal and a knack for arranging in 4-part barbershop harmony, he came to a uniquely focused and resonant sound as a solo trombone cover artist throughout the 2010s, before beginning to explore songwriting more earnestly leading up to 2020. Taking most directly after some Great American Songbook harmonic sensibilities crossed with more contemporary bedroom-based projects, he composes scenic, wistful, and diary-like tunes that invite the listener to both escape and appreciate the natural world and present moment. His third release, the short and mostly self-recorded Mellowman, comes out on November 1st, carrying many of those earliest song ideas that have had time to grow into fully fleshed-out arrangements.
