Only Danish festival in 2025.
It's a lively affair when songwriter, singer and bassist Melissa Carper pumps out her version ofof authentic American roots music, elegantly and effortlesssly fusing old-time, country, blues and western swing in a contemporary setting.
This is new music from Nashville, with a dutiful salute to the old masters, Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and Jimmie Rodgers. Mellissa Carper grew up in Nebraska, in a home full of music. She took up the bass and played in a family band. Later, the music took over, she moved to Austin, Texas, and later to Nashville. Her career really took off with her second solo album Ramblin’ Soul, in 2022. The album was well received and appeared on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 25 best country and americana albums of 2022. Her latest album Borned in Ya (2024), enlists some of Nashville's finest session musicians, among them multi-instrumentalist Chris Scruggs (yep, bluegrass legend Earl's grandchild). It was Chris who gave Melissa Carper the nickname Hillbillie Holiday, praising her ability to meld country and jazz singing. Melissa Carper appears with her band. Their only Danish festival in 2025.
