"Music Connection"

"Melissa has forged a style that suits her powerful voice and positive outlook on life. When put together with an expert backup band, the result is a personal, yet inclusive, collection of songs that demand attention. Lewis shows she's an artist who could draw a devoted following."
- J. Michael Dolan


"CD Baby"

"A varied array of musical styles laced with a truly gifted vocalist. Melissa's debut CD, is a wonderful blend of Americana, pop, and country stylings. From the first track, Falling, she writes to the pulse of her passions and inquiries within; always with the desire to share and inspire others going through similar experiences. As well as writing her own songs, Melissa has a great ear for picking songs from other writers as well, as shown in the Andrea Stolpe / Tanya Leah co write, Let Me Be. This CD packs a walloping sound of funky bass grooves under steel guitar, and soaring electric lead work by Erik Halbig. Put this one on and feel good all day long!"
- Jill Sissel


"Taxi"

"Songs really impressed me. Good solid storyline and lyrics. Excellent vocals and strong musicianship"

"God, you sing great -- K.D. Lang meets Tracy Thorn. Your voice is very expressive and facile"

"An outstanding vocal and excellent production. First rate work - Killer musicianship"

"Falling, I was immediately impressed by the honesty of this song and its presentation. You sound like the genuine article. You are an artist in every sense of the word."

"The vocals cannot be denied and I believe that you could sing just about anything. Vocals are very expressive with an ability to project, hold notes, and put a bit of the blues sound in there as well."
- Taxi Reviews

Bio

My music, when you come down to it is about my life. Writing songs has become therapy in a way for me. It’s a release! I tend to write about my experiences and things I have gone through or witnessed. I don't think I could ever list all the artist that have influenced me in some way, but to name some favorites. Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, James Taylor, Annie Lennox, Jonatha Brooke, David Wilcox, Amy Grant -- this list goes on and on. I love all types of music and I enjoy just letting the music lead me ... even if it's not the "typical song structure" I just write what feels good inside.
