   About Melody Allegra Berger
Hey, all! My name’s Melody and I’ve been playing violin since the wee age of five years old. (and I turned 28 in November, so it’s been a while) I fell in love with bluegrass back in January of ’05 and have been playing/singing with loads of bands in the Philly and NYC area ever since!

For the first four recordings on this site, I got together a bunch of fabulous Philly area pickers and we recorded an album live at my friend Peter Wroblewski’s place in one intense musical weekend. To get that whole album you can click on the CD cover paypal button to the left.

Feel free to send me a message at howlingharpiesSPAM@SPAMgmail.com (you know, without those SPAMs in there) if you’re interested in booking a bluegrass band, possible recording work, and/or some fiddle and voice lessons. Or if you just want to say "hi!" :-)

Peace~

A portion of those same artists showcased this weekend at the 16th Original GLBT Expo will appear on April 6th at OutMusic's Open mic. Barnacle Bill & Lady Honey Clover will host OutMusic, which continues stronger than ever, being presented by The Center, NYC’s own cornerstone for the LGBT community.

In addition to newcomers and those long-serving, OutMusic invites three special guests in April: Lousia "Light" McBee, a classically trained jazz vocalist who fuses her influences with contemporary electronic. Vincent Digeronimo, an independent folk singer, with sturdy guitar and vocals displaying his lyric poetry. And our feature Virago, comprised of Amy Schindler and Maire Tashjian, two versant musicians making regional sounds.

With added appearances by Young Neat, Matt Gerber, poet Katina Douveas and other inspirational artists, whose work can be felt in the guts of all who behold it. Don’t miss your chance to show and tell your talent and be among companions.

As Pride events draw near, keep pace with OutMusic’s latest developments by visiting outmusic.com and join us the first Monday of every month at The Center for the open mic. $10 / $7 for members (admission includes drink ticket).
