Some say indie-alternative-Americana, others say folk-rock with a hint of blues.... whatever the description may be, melaniejane's unique style blending a wide range of generes has created something new, something fresh & something ultimately timeless
Why this name?
It's my name!
Do you play live?
Appearing mostly in the Midwest.... will be in nashville this December to play at the No More Handguns benefit (John Lennon Tribute)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes independent artists accessible to a public that is hungry for more than what is offered on mainstream radio.....
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends, depends........
