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.
