About Me

It all began when a cocktail waitress and a bar back realized they had more in common than just drinking. Melissa Moshé & Tom Mandulak met as co-workers in 2002 at a bar in the East Village of New York City. Tom had just started playing cello and Melissa had casually written a couple of songs - so it seemed completely reasonable that they start a band. They named it Table Twelve to pay homage to their "careers" in the service industry. They performed all over the city - including the "summer subway tour" which was Melissa's brilliant idea to perform at various subway stops throughout downtown manhattan - admission was the cost of a metrocard ride. After many years of playing together, performing, laughing and fighting like an old married couple Melissa & Tom were forced to separate due to geographical differences - Tom still resides in New York City and in late September 2005 Melissa returned home to Los Angeles.Melissa is very happy to announce that her first full-length album created with producer Marika Tjelios (major credit - melissa ferrick) is FINALLY done!! The debut album titled "small world for left hands" is currently available on itunes, cdbaby.com, rhapsody.com and emusic.com. enjoy!http://cdbaby.com/cd/melissamosheMasthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
