I really like the Southern influence. That was a surprise- A little Dire Straits, early Jefferson Airplane mixed in with Detroit rock sound. Nice work !!

Bio
Sweet Melissa blends southern jam, classic rock, funk and other genres to make a high energy, danceable, yet soothing groove that appeals to everyone. The focus is on lyrically interesting originals that allow enough breathing room for each instrument to shine through. The instrumentals weave together all the instruments with leads by the guitar, sax, and occasionally the bass and drums. No one takes center stage - rather, everyone melds together in a harmonious amalgamation of sounds. To bring new fans in and make sure everyone gets dancing, they include a smattering of great covers some of which have been claimed as their own. This ain't no cover band though - this is Sweet Melissa!
