All the influences in our lives are made with memories of something great. So the music that influences the way that we play range from blues to rock to reggae to funk. We all love the classic's of course and enjoy the new stuff as well.
Neye Benziyor?
I think that we have an eclectic style of music selection; Janis Joplin mixed with Bonnie Raitt mixed with some Stevie Nicks is how Melodie's voice has been described. We have a lot of mixtures of music, the blues rock raggae style that tantilized the ears is a great way to listen to something new and good for a change.
The Melodie Proffitt Band is local to the Des Moines music sceen for over 5 years now. Our band is an eclectic mix of blues, rock, reggae, funk, and some of the newer stuff on the charts. We like to keep you guessing on what we will do next, it's part of our on stage fun!! We play in this band because we have fun, we want to make everyone feel the vibes that we are trying to portray out to the audience. It's all about a good time with us!!

Friends, fellow musicians, music lovers I am most pleased to announce a new partnership with Lightning Red an exceptional blues guitar player and vocalist. Red very recently moved here from Austin, Texas where he competed for gigs with some of the country’s best talent. You can hear his music and read more about him at www. LightningRed. com Red said he wanted to form an acoustic blues duo to play restaurants and coffee houses in Central Iowa. I had been thinking the same thing for months. When he said he wanted to play a mix of originals and songs of the blues masters – Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee, Jimmy Reed, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, James Cotton, Muddy Waters, BB King and others – I knew we were in the same head space. After our first rehearsal I knew we had something. I think you’ll feel it the moment you hear us. As you know I’ve been doing this a while myself. See my “resume” and hear my music at www. myspace. com/CurryHarp I’ve been fortunate to connect with “Stoney” (Dave Stone) owner of three restaurants in the Des Moines area. At one of his restaurants, Waveland Café West/Booneville Bar, he spoke of wanting to extend his hours of operation on Sundays, have Curry & Red do something special at least once a month, and create a unique menu for that day only each time. I of course am excited to be a part of his growing business. The first event is this coming Sunday, January 25 from 3-5 pm. So, while Red and I sing and play some good time blues, you can stuff your face with gourmet pizza sandwiches, drink beer, tea, or whatever you drink. It’s a family restaurant with a reputation for quality, generous portions, and local ambiance. Directions: From Des Moines take 80 west to the Waukee/Booneville exit. Turn left/south on Ute Avenue. Go 2 miles to Waveland Café West and Booneville Bar, 3571 Ute Avenue, Booneville, Iowa. Curry & Red
Hey there. I know this is really late notice, but I was wondering if there's anyway you'd want to play/sing for a benefit show in Marshalltown next Friday night the 5th. Thanks for considering. Peace, sarah
