Melissa Saunders “You don’t know what songs are inside a person until they are squeezed & shaken by life”. Wise but still joyful, Melissa’s songs bring equal measures of sunshine, honey and shadows with a side of nuts. Deceptively simple, delivered with punch. Superbly supported by husband Paul on keys. Blues, alt country with a jump of folk.
