December 30- 2016 was an amazing year for a lot of reasons but I think it takes reflecting on all the little moments to remember just how blessed I have been. I signed a publishing deal with Dune Grass Music, met and wrote with a lot of amazing writers, took a Key West trip to the Songwriter's Festival with my Nash Fam, and started an EP which is almost finished (details coming soon)!! I feel motivated and optimistic about 2017. I'm so lucky to have the family, friends, and fans that I do and I can't wait to see what new adventures we will find in the new year. Hope everyone has a safe, happy, and healthy 2017! God bless & Cheers! :) -Melanie

August 11- Hey guys! Lots has happened over the course of this year and I've been so behind on updating the website! Most of my time this summer has been spent writing songs and trying to pick the best ones for my upcoming EP! We are set to record this Fall and hopefully have it done by the time the new year rolls around! New year, new music!! There may be opportunities to help with the EP process, so stay tuned for that, and in the meantime go check out www.soundcloud.com/melaniemeriney for my latest demos and songs- maybe you can convince me to put your favorite on the new album! ;) XO
March 1st- BIG NEWS!!! I'm so happy to announce I have signed a publishing deal with Dune Grass Music! Woke up to find myself in both Country Aircheck, Billboard, and Music Row Magazine!

August 29th- Check out my upcoming shows for late summer and fall! I will be heading to Gibsonburg OH, near Toledo, on September 5 to play the Gibsonburg Scrap Festival. I will be in my hometown of Pittsburgh PA on September 11th for the Strip District World Festival, and again on October 24th for a headlining showcase at Pittsburgh Winery. I will also be traveling to Jonesboro AR on September 26th to open for The Commodores at the Jonesboro BBQ Fest. To stay up to date, join my mailing list under the "Contact" section of my website, or follow my Facebook page!
February 17th- Tonight was an amazing night! As a Top 3 Finalist for Nashville's Emerging Star competition, I got to perform at the Wildhorse Saloon for the first time in front of a crowd of over 400 people as well as open for some of my greatest idols, Little Big Town! I grew up listening to them on the radio, so it was incredibly surreal to be able to meet them backstage and talk with them as a fellow artist. Nashville and 2015 have been so good to me so far! It's awesome to watch something so cool come out of the work I've been putting in lately. Hoping it continues! <3
Melanie will be performing at 2015 Country Fan Jam during CMA week June 11-14! If you plan to attend, purchase tickets with special code "MMM" to help Melanie play the main stage!
Happy almost 2015- go check out my coon hound Pepper who is a MUCH better singer than me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BsufJsWvys&feature=youtu.be
Can't believe 2014 is almost over- what started off as a hard year turned out to be one filled with opportunities, blessings, and happiness. I feel so blessed to be able to live in one of the coolest cities in America, doing exactly what I love every single day, even if it means waiting tables some nights and spending all my extra cash in the studio and on getting my music out there. Because I know that when I look back on these years and my early twenties, it is not going to be with regrets (and hopefully from a standpoint of success and the feeling that hard work paid off). I've always walked the line, made good grades, done what I was supposed to... and this is my chance now to do what I want to do. I'm at a point in my life I will probably never be again where I have very little responsibilities, obligations, and distractions. I plan to live life to the fullest and give this singing thing all I've got! It's where my heart is, and still the reason I wake up each morning, excited for a new day. Here's to 2015 and making it count. Merry Christmas and God bless! xox, Melanie
