MELISSA PLETT

REPEATED STORIES

INDEPENDENT

FILE UNDER: The beginning of a beautiful friendship. SUBSTANCE: In a world of artifice and image, Melissa Plett is the real thing. What you hear with this folky singer-songwriter is what you get. And what you get on her debut EP is six tales of heartworn confession voiced in earthy tones, set to mournful melodies and dotted with jazzy arrangements and classical flourishes. STANDOUTS: The slow, sad Saturday; the supple Because of You.

What's going on?

2006-04-09T16:08:00.000-07:00

Well let me share with you...
The past week and a bit has been an amazing little journey. While on the path in front of me, I have not returned every phone call, sorry about that, and I've had people asking similar questions. So, here are some answers for you all:
YES - Friday Night Fires on Fawcett WILL be happening again soon. I'll be sure to send out the word on that one!
YES - I'm getting restless here in Winnipeg and looking into some options.
YES - I have shows coming up but I'm taking a little break at this time to focus on a few things that are priority right now.
YES - I AM extremly happy lately. This is due to some of the things I hinted towards in the last answer. (haha)
There you have it, yes 4x to some excellent questions
Have a beautiful day and thanks for stoppin' by!
See you at a show real soon... promise.

Hmmm...

2006-03-26T23:15:00.000-08:00

Not much to mention at this time. I guess, what I should do, is introduce the fabulous Blain Baduke ( NO idea how he spells his name) He's this very talented man that now fiddles with me from time-to-time. Yes, he plays in a number of bands, but I'm pretty sure the only time you can hear his amazing voice is when his jammin' with me. Check back, tomorrow a picture MUST be posted of him!
As for shows... keep checkin' back here. Right now the ol' voice isn't doin' so great. Tomorrow's the day I'm gonna have to take care of that.
much love,
Melissa

Feb. 20th: A quick set inbetween Myles Palmquist 2 set night at Billabong Bar & Bistro - 10PM
March 13th: 9PM - Academy Bar & Eatery

Little Update

2006-01-30T11:07:00.000-08:00

I've been spending a lot of time hiding out in my attic and playing songs for my mice with hopes of heading back out to Vancouver. So far it looks as though that will be happening in late March. Before I go however, I'm planning a couple "things" around the beautiful city of Winnipeg. Keep checkin' back for the updates. Oh, and while you wait, check the links out to the right. My friend Anthony has a lot of interesting art for you to see.
All the best - Melissa Plett

Time Out in Vancouver

2006-01-17T12:01:00.001-08:00

I just returned to Winnipeg from my good times in Vancouver. On Saturday I played at a club called the Railway Club and had a FANTASTIC time! The room was filled with friendly people, excellent musicians and a vibe that was familiar to Winnipeg. Honestly, it felt like the Railway Club had the most soul out of the majority of Vancouver... at least that was MY take on it!

WONDERFUL CHANGES!

2005-12-28T13:12:00.000-08:00

I've been getting a little anxious here in Winnipeg for some change. Since I can't go anywhere at this time I colored my hair and have begun two new addictions:
-Writing HAPPY songs
-Drinking Redbull
I started the Redbull thing today at the office. Hey, it's better then alcohol but can 2 certainly speeds the ol' heart up!
Anyways, getting out of debt appears to be on the horizon so I'm hoping to go on an "Open Mic Tour" in January.
Keep your eyes and ears open and I'll see you at a show - Bottoms UP!

So that happened!

2005-12-14T10:14:00.000-08:00

Funny face for a funny night. Academy Bar & Eatery was an enjoyable evening. Justin Lacroix was his charming self, and drummer Dave was fantastic as well. Thanks to Maria for playin' the keys... and everyone for coming out and supporting local!
