Canada’s 'voice like chocolate’ & her heartland rock band.
Melanie Dekker, hails from Deep Cove, N. Vancouver. Her dutch background handed her an easy-going, warm and sassy style. Musical diversity. Sunshine. Love & soulfulness; combine all this with an entertainer whose blithe spirit tours a shedload, and whose songs tug on your heart and leave you smiling.
Three B.C. boys insisted on being the band.

What fans are saying
April 1st 2024
The entire street was closed due to replacement of the cobblestone so I was a little concerned that the people would not be there but as bare as the street was Guilt & Co was packed with enthusiastic old and new fans of Melanie's. She was accompanied by her long time guitarist Allan Rodger and noted drummer Chris 'The Wrist' Nordquist. While the sound system could have been a bit better tweaked, Melanie's energy and talented voice came through, nonetheless. This was a geat show to help warm up for her upcoming April - May 2024 tour in Germany and Denmark. Her fans there are in for a treat!
