Info: Canadian Recording artist Melanie Dekker is “Here & Now” with a new record & an incredible tour schedule
Singer-songwriter Melanie Dekker finished up a new pop-rock album earlier this year and now she is loading up the gear to embark on an extensive 50 city tour of European concert venues. This time the focus is in Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, & Denmark.
“I love to travel and I really am living my dream”, exclaims Dekker. “Though it’s not easy, it’s fascinating to tour to a different city each night. I love the yellow brick road style adventures and I am thrilled with the laughter and sounds of new fans.”
Dekker has performed with Bryan Adams, Faith Hill, Chaka Khan & Diana Krall & won songwriting competitions in the USA & Canada.
Dekker was invited to sing in Afghanistan this past Christmas and some of the songs on her new album “Here & Now” reflect her experiences there. Dekker has produced 4 albums and has had 3 hit singles on Canadian commercial radio. “When I think of you”, “Blue Blanket” and “I said I” have been in strong rotation in Canada since 2003. Dekker’s music is now breaking on European radio, which has quickly listed rootsy pop-rock Dekker on both commercial & web-radio stations.
Melanie Dekker’s past recordings include David Kershenbaum for the album “Revealed”, (producer for Tracy Chapman, Joe Jackson, and Duran Duran) and virtuosic guitarist Jason Nett on the acoustic album ‘Acoustic Ride’. Recorded in Vancouver Canada: “Here & Now” seems to be just what her fans are craving. It is lively, with an acoustic element and if you listen to the lyrics, it is very moving. It’s a great colourful reflection of her vivacious character at a live show.
The 2010 fall “here & now” tour in Europe tour is an intimate & lively show. Alongside Miss Dekker you will be delighted by the rock pianist, composer and singer from “The Living” Mike Bell and the fantastic and beautiful classically trained violinist Elyse Jacobson.
"Dekker brings to the stage a delightfully irreverent persona & an equally quirky lyricism. Dekker`s voice distinguishes itself in textural richness & an endearing accuracy." LA Radio Review, Los Angeles USA
"Her immense talent and strong songwriting abilities, make her stand out in a crowd." Alternative News, Boston USA
"Dekker`s voice can be both powerful and sensual, and full of life and hunger. It emotes. The night was solid with a hint of folk rock, hooky pop melodies and driving rhythm." Music critic, Munich GERMANY
