Melissa Holland is a singer/songwriter, flutist, and keyboardist. In each song she tells a story - reflecting personal growth and change and evoking empathy, images and pathos. She does this with confessional, conversational and often humorous lyrics. Her style is a mixture of pop, folk, classical, sometimes even jazz and country; but somehow it is all part of who she is and the musical journey she takes you on. She has been compared style-wise to Carol King and Laura Nyro. Her voice is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins: clear, honest and flexible; both ethereal and down to earth as she puts it, "head in the clouds, feet on the ground". Melissa has worked as a studio musician and performed with Pete Seeger, David Roth, Penny Nichols and Rex Fowler. During her stint as a classical flutist, she performed with members of the New York Philharmonic and was principal flute with the Bronx Symphony Orchestra. She is also a member of the trio "Holland, Thompson and Tooch" who will be coming out with their debut cd this summer. Track List: 1. Legacy 2. Better Stop Raining 3. Suitcase Full of Pain 4.
