Melanie, who became the voice of an era in one magical instant onstage at Woodstock, has been putting the pieces in order.
Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song… and nobody does this better than Melanie.
Others learned this that night at Woodstock, where as a New York kid barely known outside of the coffeehouse circuit in Greenwich Village, she sang her song “Beautiful People” and inspired the first panorama of candles and cigarette lighters ever raised at a concert event. That, in turn, moved the young singer to write “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain”), which sold more than one million copies in 1970 and prompted Billboard, Cashbox, Melody Maker, Record World, and Bravo to anoint her as female vocalist of the year. Her single “Brand New Key,” an infectious romp about freedom and roller skates, topped the charts in 1971.
“ for the next 90 minutes Melanie did everything to make it an unforgettable night, singing her big numbers as well as songs on demand and new material.
She did it with humour and love, responding throughout to people in the audience, beaming from the stage in a full-length caftan, sharing the wit and wisdom of her years, and orchestrating singalongs for the sheer fun.”
“Melanie is not just playing to the people who have followed her career since the ‘70s; she’s built a new and younger audience as well. She’s made about 40 albums and has developed into one of the best songwriters out there, as well as one of the best performers. If you’ve seen her live, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, you owe it to yourself to be there when she comes to a venue near you.
”
“ The entire evening was the single most personal concert I’ve ever attended. 3 hours in the life of Melanie. I’ll never be quite the same. 2 girls flew in to the gig all the way from Australia, and I totally understood why. If Melanie happens to come anywhere near you, consider it a “must see” concert.”
