Simple Melody
Simple Melody is a Jazz/Swing Group started in 2008 by two clarinetists from Newington High School and a bass player. Although we've added a drummer and pianist for live performances we like keeping it simple (hence the name) and staying with the 3 of us on the recordingBand/artist history
Simple Melody was started by two clarinetists and a bass player prior to the Newington High School Variety show in October of 2008. Playing what has become our signature song of late, "it don't meen a thing' the band received great reviews in the show that included other local area band sensation '4 guys and a dumpster'. The band went dormant for most of December and January before getting back together to play at a benefit concert. There they began recording there songs, starting with a crudely done and rushed version of 'it don't meen a thing for the audition for the show.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live mostly, due to a recent purchases of some recording equipment we've been able to start recording our songs.
