Melody Mann Biog

The creative thrust behind Melody Mann is the songwriting team of Kelly Williams-Mann and Thomas Mann. South meets north with Kellys upbringing on Texas Honky Tonk and gospel music combined with Thomas's East Coast jazz and classical piano roots. Together they create a style of music that is both familiar and new, blending blues, rock and jazz with a little Texas twang. Melody Mann's songs provide seductive melodies and emotional, thought-provoking lyrics. But dont think this is ordinary, run-of-the-mill singer/songwriter fare. The music is full of energy and the messages ring of optimism, triumph and hope. And from time to time, Kelly even recounts a little bar room bravado, while Thomas throws in his own rollicking style of stride piano. What Others Are Saying...... 'Hard Road', Melody Manns debut CD is a telling example of this groups multiple talents and extraordinary versatility. Head vocalist, Kelly Williams-Mann, has a strong, compelling voice that grips the listener, seizes the emotions and pleases the ear. Add to that the awesome keyboards by Thomas Mann and some other very smooth musical accomplishment and you can see why the skys the limit for this talented group from Austin." - Brenda Barbee, Roots Music Report Strong, powerful, and true to the core, the Melody Mann sound is undeniably Texan as they lean from sultry to roadhouse with the greatest of ease. Sure to become a Texas music mainstay, this group is ready to rock - Melody Mann style. -Lucky Boyd, My Texas Music
