About the Artist

A native New Englander, Melissa first immersed herself in the Nashville music scene in 1996 after obtaining her degree from St. Lawrence University. She studied piano and voice in her early years and later concentrated on the guitar. She emerged from those studies as an incredible songwriter with a vocal ability that is second to none, whom both the country and folk genres have embraced. She has independently released three full-length albums, Lighthouse Point (1999), Welcome To Stay (2003), and Under Their Influence (2005). Melissa’s fourth album, In Your Corner, is set to release in July 2006. Regardless of the album or song choice, rest assured that Melissa will take you on a journey with her thought-provoking collection of insightful lyrics and rich melodies in which she weaves a thread of hope, imploring the listener to persevere through life’s tribulations. Her writing exemplifies Melissa’s talented grasp of communicating real life emotions, crossing lines and barriers. Her naturally soothing, earth-toned voice shines effortlessly, whether she wrote the songs herself or is lending them her warm, rich alto voice.

Product Description

Teaming up once again with longtime producer, Vaughn Lofstead, Melissa Gibson’s fourth release, In Your Corner, proves she has staying power with her trademark style of infusing songs with a grounded, salt-of-the-earth perspective. What sets Melissa’s music apart from most contemporary singer/songwriters is its enticing ability to be less concerned with the melancholies of life and more concerned with getting beyond them. It may be Melissa’s warm, deep, rich voice that first strikes you, however, equally remarkable are her infectious melodies that implore you to push through your uncertainties and her poignant lyrics that meet life’s tribulations head on, but always seem to leave you filled with the hope of a clear new day. Melissa has an extraordinary ability to acknowledge life’s challenges and heartaches without ever wallowing in the blues. Optimistically realistic, it is this quality that makes In Your Corner something you’ll reach for again and again. Backed by enormously talented musicians, this album breaks free of genre constraints and takes you to a whole new level of folk/country music. Melissa has the raw talent of showcasing honesty and truth which her music evokes, illustrating her incredible sense of self and the world around her.
