Melissa Greener

Nashville based folk-crooner Melissa Greener tells the truth. Her songs captivate with refreshing, quirkily crafted lyrics, dynamic melodies and loads of groove. All of this is supported by vocal chops that simultaneously devastate and command. Greener's sophomore release, Dwelling (Anima, 2010), was produced by John Jennings (Mary Chapin Carpenter) and has won awards and glowing reviews throughout the music industry.

Growing up in Detroit with an intoxicating potion of Mo-town, standard torch ballads, "oldies" and classic rock, Greener's singular sound evolved. The unique brew emerged as the fermentation of a classically trained soprano mother, who sang in the lounge of the Playboy Club, and a politically bent hippie father.

One of those is with us in Bristol, well worth a listen from this uniquely styled live performer.
