Melanie Ida Chopko writes and performs, according to one reviewer, "with wit, acuity and grace.” Her songs on guitar and piano, recorded on her debut EP "Yellow Blue Alizarin," feature astute lyrics and melody, combining modern folk and blues with a big crush on jazz. In the tradition of the citizen artist, she is as interested in the complexity of the world around her as the one within herself, exploring both with artistry, intimacy and humor. She blurs the line onstage between musician and storyteller making listeners laugh out loud and then cracking their hearts open. M'Gilvry Allen opens.
