FINAL-ly...

I just received my "official" certificate declaring that my song Same Big Sky is a finalist in the 2007 U.S.A. Songwriting Competition!   It just so happens that you can purchase Same Big Sky on Itunes or, better yet, buy the entire CD Fall From the Sky with Same Big Sky on it! 

(Available by clicking the "music" link and then the "purchase" link to your left.)

Thanks to Eddie, the judges, the Decatur, Georgia gang and all of the amazingly talented participants from far and farther.  See you all again soon!

Playing Ball in 2008!

* HaPpY NeW YeAr!  *

The ball may have dropped last night in Time Square, but it's in my court here in Austin, Texas and I do not intend to drop it myself this 2008.  Great things coming up for the rest of the winter...

- I'm going back into the studio this January 6th with 'mon capitan', John Jennings to work on my upcoming album!

- I'll be touring throughout the Southeast this February/March, spending a few days at the International Folk Alliance conference in Memphis, Tennessee.

Much more on its way for the rest of the year...  364 more days to make it count! 

Thank you all for listening so well, and for your continued support.  I can't wait to play for you again.  Wishing you a peaceful, joyous, healthy, and happy new year! 

Bestly,
Melissa

Texas Chili - no beans about it!
*I've just gotten off the road from an amazing fall tour throughout the Southeast, East coast and Midwest US.  Lots of great shows for new fans and old.  It's getting quite chili up there...  And now that I'm home in Austin, Texas too is wearing a sweater.

*I'll be in and out of the studio (Charlottesville, Virgina) this winter, recording a batch of brand new songs with my producer John Jennings!    

*I will be playing a few select shows in the next couple of months, so keep an eye on my calendar page.

*Also, I'll be attending the International Folk Alliance conference this February in Memphis, Tennessee.

Exciting stuff this fall!

Hello All,

Here are a couple of exciting announcements!

This Saturday night, Oct. 13th, I have the great privilege of performing at the Hank Sinatra Songwriter Series - filmed, edited and pod-cast from beautiful Austin, Texas.  The show can be viewed on-line, from any computer in the world at the following link:

Hank has been putting on "live, pod-cast" concerts featuring some of the very greatest Texas singer-songwriters.  I'm honored to be invited to perform for Season 4 of the Songwriter Series.

All those in Austin are encouraged to come out to Hank's house on the East side to contribute "whoops, hollers, and whistles" from the live audience filming.  The show is outdoors and BYOB.  Also appearing on the bill will be Drew Tichnell and Amanda Lepre.

Saturday, Oct. 13th, 7:30pm

More Excitement !
I will begin pre-production on my upcoming album (follow-up to my first release 'Fall From the Sky') next month!  Acclaimed record maker and music man John Jennings (Mary Chapin Carpenter) will produce the project, due for a spring 2008 release.  

For those of you who have made inquiries, nearing the end of the year I will be accepting Pre-Sales orders of the upcoming Cd from which new songs will be posted to my website WWW.MELISSAGREENER.COM and MySpace ("friend me"!). 


Upcoming Fall Tour!
I'm lining up a fantastic fall tour that will take me through the heartland, Southeast, East Coast and Midwest United States.  I'll keep you posted as my schedule develops, and you're always encouraged to check my website and my MySpace for the latest show additions, and info. 


That's all for now.  Tell all of your friends to get out there and support independent acoustic music! 

Hugs, blessings and well wishes to you all.

The heat is on, Texas style... And Im sporting a fetching new hair-do. Short, sweet, and much awaited. Ive been wanting to do this for a loooong time... No short haired pix on the website yet, but there are a couple on my MySpace - www.myspace.com/melissagreener. Have a great summer!
