About Me

"She's...in the tradition of Bob Dylan, of Billie Holiday, of letting her unorthodox tonality shine through to become her immediately recognizable calling card. When she wraps that charming singing voice around the dozen songs of hers found here, the results are often hypnotic, and always beguiling."
-North County Times, Feb. 2008
"Melissa Vaughanâ€™s debut album is...good quality voice and piano...there are subtle flourishes that add to its dynamic. â€˜How Could Youâ€™ goes beyond the standard accompaniment of piano and strings and places the sounds of a restaurant in the background; â€˜The Yard Part Twoâ€™ brings the album to an abrupt end after showcasing Vaughanâ€™s understated yet impressive vocal talents. Well worth a listen or two, or threeâ€¦"

One of my favorite memories is looking out over my shoulder and seeing a cluster of pretty yellow weeds growing on a hill. Ever since then I've tried to recapture that moment with my music. It's up to you, my dear friends, to decipher whether or not I've succeeded...-Melissa
