As I was hanging out at the fiddlers convention this past Sunday I had to stop in to the Globe to have some Burley brews and listen to Melissa Alesi. I stumbled upon her on YouTube at some point, I think we all know how that goes…and I heard that she was playing there in Berlin. Melissa has a deep and soothing voice which she compliments well with her acoustic guitar.
Melissa also had a great mix of cover’s and original music. The lyrics in her original songs were clear, creative, and relatable. She connected with her audience well between each song, making us laugh and keeping us interested. She mentioned that she was headed to North Carolina to record her second album and gave us a taste of some of her new songs.
I hope to get my hands on her new album when it comes out and would love to see her play again when she’s in town. Visit her website at melissaalesi.com to view photos and listen to some of her stuff, she’s very good.
