Melissa Ferrick
Melisssa Ferrick is a songwriter born and raised in Massachusetts. She has
been through it all in the industry and is still in love with it. Melissa plays
and sings from her feet. There seems to be no stopping this woman who has now
moved into the arena of owning and running her own label from her home on Cape
Cod. As Melissa puts it "Right On Records is really a means to an end.
To me records aren't complicated. You make one, try to get it into stores, make
sure your posters don't suck, stay on the road and keep your website interesting
and accessible.
Melissa’s fiery live shows are an infectious experience, exhibiting her magnetic personality, quirky sense of humor and outstanding musicianship. Performing over 200 shows each year, the buzz on her is traveling quickly. With the release of Freedom, Melissa continues to perform in front of packed houses, while her notoriously loyal and swelling fan base often travel over states, and even the entire, to get their "Ferrick fix." It’s rare and refreshing to see a devoted following assembled by years of hard work, especially in these days fleeting fans encouraged by huge advertising dollars spent. "My relationship with my fans is an inseparable part of my music," Melissa explains. "Since I’m on the road so often, much of my song writing is inspired by my experiences with the audience. I’m so grateful that my fans are as dedicated to my career as I am." Melissa Ferrick and Brian Winton recorded and mixed "listen hard" at The Power Station New England. Choosing the ten strongest songs and having tond of ideas they jumped into this project with the music's well being in mind. This marks the first professionally recorded album Melissa has had the opportunity to product since her sophmore Atlantic record "Willing to Wait". Although self producted, Melissa relies heavily on her musical partner Brian Winton. His knowledge of the material and overall sensitivity for the song has become an essential element for Melissa over the last two years. With Brian's background in engineering and his forte in drumming his rhythms are almost instinctively taken out of Melissas head. Brian's welcome addition allowed her the opportunity to experiment with production ideas that she was previously unable to execute. Additional information can be found at melissaferrick.com. |
