MELISSA

With a rich alto voice and a banjo style that bridges old-time tradition with contemporary edge, this Utah-based artist is a storyteller at heart—turning lived-in details into songs that feel both timeless and immediate. Rooted in the honesty of folk, bluegrass, old-time music, and early jazz, her performances pair driving banjo work with lyrical narratives that linger long after the last note.
