Born and raised in Dubuque, IA and making music since she could walk, Melissa is originally a classically trained pianist and singer now performing mostly pop, rock, and country covers spanning many decades. She plays keyboard with drum tracks and does a huge variety of music from emotional ballads to easy-listening patio tunes to hard hitting rock and dance tunes. She is also always supplied with a few hours worth of beautiful piano instrumental music when desired for the occasion.

Quotes from fans:

“What a voice and range! She can sing almost anything!”

“I can’t believe how much variety she has in her song repertoire. One of the most versatile musicians I’ve ever heard.”

Melissa keeps her song list on a google doc that fans can look at by scanning a QR code at her shows. It’s a great way for guests to request their favorite songs (or just to see if she can ACTUALLY sing “I Always Love You” as covered by Whitney Houston).

Melissa performs over 200 shows a year at retirement homes, wineries, breweries, bars, fairs, fundraisers, town festivals, and many other speciality events. She is also available for weddings and a variety of private events.
