   About Jeff Meleras
I live in Ottawa. I'm married with 2 great kids. I love music, baseball, and hockey, and I like to write songs late at night after a glass of wine or two. That's about it..........

Ottawa Citizen Article on Songs From the Couch, May 10, 2007: "Jeff Meleras is a voracious yarn-spinner with a low rumble and an easy manner. His album is called Songs From the Couch. It's a collection of moments and reflections, like the piles of lint, spare change or burnt roach you might find between the cushions, if you were inclined to reach back into the mysterious tucks and folds. There are storms, sadness and love. Too many Jennifers and a long wait for Jane. A pal named David gets a nod between bursts of tenderness. The album has a fluency in lazy-day country rock, meant to soothe and simmer, not send out distress signals." Ottawa citizen review of The Cottage Sessions, May 2008 "Through his wistful expression, his folkie voice and his utterly sweet sentiments, Jeff Meleras conjures up the feeling of bucolic days spent loafing at the lodge. These strumming sessions -- from a couple of days sequestered in Val-des-Monts, Que., in 2006 -- cover the gamut from churned-up memories, run-on stories and ambient meditations that are part of the experience. The second song, Muse, manages to say a lot about nothing, while Love Song, near the end of the disc, says too much, as if reflecting the fireside part of the evening when you're at great, revealing ease."

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

Cheers, Jeff. I was staring at copies of your new CD on the stairs at Little Bullhorn last month. Went there myself for a little bit of the ol' "recording a new album".

Looking forward to playing with you next month at the Elmdale show.

Hi Jeff Meleras
We wanna thank you for your very important support
in those sad days.

This thanx are in our name, in the name of Enrico's wife Paola and in the name of his sons.

Enrico Micheletti's ashes are flyin' throughout the universe
and we hope his soul is finally arrived at a beautiful destination.

What about his music and the music we had recorded toghether?

We finally decide to get it out.
We wanna remeber Enrico in this way.
In the first quarter of 2009 we will publish all our and Enrico Micheletti' s materials on Itunes and many other stores on the web.

We'll send you a message when it's all ready.

God bless you!!!

Marry Christmas and Have a wonderful 2009!!!

KEEP THE BLUES ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!



Ciao Jeff Meleras ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.

Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.

Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.

Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?

Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo.
Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano.
Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.

Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.

Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.

Per adesso ti auguriamo Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo
