I play roots music/blues/jazz/western swing with a group called the Melissa Benjamin Band (go figure, huh?). I can occasionally be seen playing bluegrass with the talented bunch Newgrass Junction.

The Lord Almighty (first and foremost!) and, of course, Becky & Sonya Isaacs!!! These two women have truly been one of my strongest HUMAN inspiration.
Rhonda Vincent, Carrie Hassler, Alecia Nugent, The Cox Family, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Martina McBride, Claire Lynch, Jane Monheit, Ella Fitzgerald, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Juice Newton, Bobby Taylor, Rhondda Wallace, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Patty Paige, Etta James, Roy Orbison, and the late, great Elvis Presley.
Bringing something new to the Bluegrass & Folk table, Melissa Benjamin generates a spicy and Southern essence with a skilled blues/jazz vocal styling. A well versed songstress, Melissa captivates audiences with her phenomenal talent and energy. With a raw soul -- this Southern girl's vocals pack a punch!
Her debut CD offers classics such as "In the Garden" and "Wayfaring Stranger" and she shakes it up with her own renditions of "I'm Gonna Move" (made famous by The Isaacs) and award-winning song "Blue Bayou". Sure to delight is her fun and grassy, self-penned homage to her hometown, "Crossville".
With her strong, unforgettable voice and spicy personality, she's an unstoppable force on stage!
