   About Melanie Dekker

***GET EXPOSURE & SPONSOR THE TOUR!***
Contact: sponsors@melaniedekker.com or greatsizzle@gmail.com

I tour alot, and this year I am going to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, the Czech Republic, Canada & the USA. There are tours and stories and diaries and albums and videos and songs and pictures at: www.melaniedekker.com. I LOVE to play and meet the people and uncover the emotions that I write about. I am described as an adventurous romantic and I like that as I believe that there needs to be more of that EVERYWHERE! I want to explore and share and give. We die with nothing so the other stuff is just stuff.

I spent three years at a commercial jazz music university & this got me even more excited about music. I play guitar (Big fat acoustic Taylor and every now and then Fender telecaster, and for fun I just got a banjo!...), I have performed 1000's of shows and some with famous people (Faith Hill, Chaka Khan, Bryan Adams). I am living my dream! "You"ll never never know if you never ever go"-Dr. Seuss.

Hey Melanie, just sailing by to say hi to you up in Canada. Love your music and vocals. "Wounded Soldier" has always been a favorite of mine. Please check out my latest son "Never Forgotten" on my site co-written with my son Eric Geibel (off of my site) and Eugene Crider. Along the same lines as your song. Have a super Saturday and wonderful weekend. Warm regards, your friend and fan, Bruce

Gehört "Revealed"
"Revealed“ ist die richtige Wahl für Freunde von Country
mit etwas mehr emotionen,
Folk mit etws mehr Drive und Pop mit etwas mehr Message.
Prädikat: hörenswert
(gilt natürlich auch für Dekkers Live-Shows)!

All the best to you Melanie!
Lovely greetings from Germany
