Hey All,
I just wanted to check in, let you know
what's going on and see how every one's
doing!!
This summer has been wonderful! Not
working too hard but having a lot of fun
and I guess getting the word out a bit.
I am very grateful to my community and
the
Anchorage Press for voting me
"Anchorage's Best Local Singer". It's
nice to be acknowledged, especially when
there are so many talented people that
could be listed in that category!!
Thanks again to all who voted and I'll
do my best to keep up the good hard
work!
I had a great time opening for Jewel
last week! It was such a great
experience to play in the Atwood
theater, the sounds was amazing! Thanks
to Dan @ the
Moose's Tooth for the opportunity
Jewel was very sweet and she wrote
some nice things in her tweets and blog
about me and Alaska in general. To
all you 818er's, if that doesn't make
you want to come up here well.....
I'm looking forward to a few more shows
this fall and then taking some time to
work on new projects so stay posted. One
thing I've really been wanting to do for
awhile is host a monthly Jam for Charity
here in town. Just something once a
month where musicians and artists can
team up with local charities, raise
awareness and funds, do some outreach,
and make difference in our community
while having some fun. I'm very happy to
say that the
Spenard Roadhouse (voted
"Anchorage's Best New Restaurant") will
be sponsoring these events the 2nd
Saturday of every month. The first one
being October 10th featuring myself,
Sean "Spiff" Chambers, and Dan
Lesperance. Come check it out and get
involved.
All my dates are
listed on my website We're working
on updating the site with some new stuff
so keep checking back.
Have a great weekend and we'll see ya
around:
Peace, Mel
