"She's...in the tradition of Bob Dylan, of Billie Holiday, of letting her unorthodox tonality shine through to become her immediately recognizable calling card. When she wraps that charming singing voice around the dozen songs of hers found here, the results are often hypnotic, and always beguiling."
-North County Times, Feb. 2008
"Melissa Vaughan’s debut album is...good quality voice and piano...there are subtle flourishes that add to its dynamic. ‘How Could You’ goes beyond the standard accompaniment of piano and strings and places the sounds of a restaurant in the background; ‘The Yard Part Two’ brings the album to an abrupt end after showcasing Vaughan’s understated yet impressive vocal talents. Well worth a listen or two, or three…" -Holly Wild, www.subba-cultcha.com
One of my favorite memories is looking out over my shoulder and seeing a cluster of pretty yellow weeds growing on a hill. Ever since then I've tried to recapture that moment with my music. It's up to you, my dear friends, to decipher whether or not I've succeeded...

Melissa! Loved your voice, message, keys, respect for your audience and whole aura on stage. You are beautiful and radiate a warm, captivating, true vibe when you perform. Are you gonna be around Lestat's tonight? I have some friends coming from out of town that would love to see you!

Unfortunately the book had to be paused as I was in massive stress in the last months. Plus the living situation here in LA isnt that well either so I need to find a solution asap. Oh well...
Do you go on early or late? We have our grandson this weekend so we may try to make it if you go on early...he loves music. I'll try to keep him out of the mosh pit though.
Yes and yes! :) I might be doing an art show tonight at a coffee shop in Mission Valley (still not definite...) but if you're free you should stop by! Otherwise this week sometime?
Cheesecake in San Clemente. At Carbonara's on Del Mar. Right at the top of the street near El Camino Real - that's the place! Call me when you guys come through town next, we'll meet up! ~Mike
