A songwriter, bassist and vocalist using the gift of rock music to promote justice and empathy throughout her community.
Combining poignant, bold lyricism with folky blues guitar styles and hard hitting groove, her songs shed light upon her experiences of empowerment, oppression, political hardship and tales of love or loss. Her influences span many decades and genres; she draws upon the classic blues and rock greats for guidance, and modern punk, folk and female pop artists for inspiration. Mel has performed at the Okeechobee and Ground Up music festivals in Florida, and has toured nationally as a solo artist and with her band, Mel Bryant & the Mercy Makers. Her debut album, High Priestess, is available everywhere.
