You'll even hear a few soon-to-be-classics written by Melanie Beth Curran herself. A surefire party for the lads, lassies and laxxes all.

Melanie Beth Curran is joined onstage by Eli Hetko and Jaden Goldstone. Expect banjo, bouzouki, fiddle, guitar, and ample sing-a-long opportunities.
Melanie Beth Curran's music is an old-fashioned and cozy comfort to the world-weary weirdos of this bountiful earth. Her music sounds like potatoes. She was raised on an Island in the Pacific Northwest and now calls Brooklyn home. Her rich voice and timeless songwriting exude a warm folk magic. Her vibes are humorous and deep. Her tools include: banjo, fiddle, guitar, harmony, poetry, friends, a little depravity, and lots of otherworldly nostalgia.
