Just for clarification, her name is Melody, her last name is Guy and she's one of the hottest talents on the Portland music scene today. Whether or not you're a fan of country music, Melody has the ability to breakdown anyone's dislike for the genre with her sugar-sweet voice that goes perfect with every skillfully crafted lyric she sings. She presents a straightforward, unmannered delivery. Her songs are substantive, catchy and memorable, and heartbreak figures prominently, which makes them not only good but eminently cover-able by better-known (though not necessarily better) singers. The sound is mostly contemporary country, with more than occasional hints of R&B and Rock. But Melody is most impressive in her live performances, which have landed her opening slots with artists including Martina McBride, Keith Urban, Leon Russell, Sherrie Austin, Nanci Griffith, Jim Messina, Dan Seals, Joni Harms, Lee Ann Womak and Chad Brock. Although her stage presence is charming, to say the least, her songwriting reveals that her life has been less than perfect. This is one reason why Melody is so captivating -- she's writing beautiful, honest songs and singing her heart out. www.melodyguy.com
