Local Artist Highlight–Mel Lynn
Solo singer-songwriter artist Mel Lynn, known locally as Mel Manuel from Salem, makes her debut appearance LIVE! From the Vineyard Stage at Auburn Road Vineyard & Winery this Saturday. She has been a regular at the open mic every Thursday at Auburn Road for a while now, so seeing her in the spotlight will be a pleasure.
We should be clear that this is not Mel’s first big gig, just her first time as the featured artist at this venue. The socials show that Mel has performed at Over the Moon Art Studios as a part of First Fridays programming in Asbury Park and has been featured in the Moto Mondays Artist Showcase at the Chubby Pickle in Highlands, among other gigs.
While Mel seems timid and quiet at first, her voice is a powerful tool that deserves your attention. Self-described as indie/pop/rock, she presents a smooth and practiced performance that is sure to please the senses. You can listen to her original songs Appeal to the Masses and I Warned U (The Fire Song) on all the usual platforms through her linktr.ee, and preview some of her covers and impressive a cappella work on her instagram.
LIVE! From the Vineyard Stage at Auburn Road Vineyard & Winery offers great music and amazing performers from the region, Philly and beyond. Musical artists play on The Vineyard Stage nestled among the grape vines when the weather is nice. Gigs are always rain or shine because the production is moved indoors if the forecast is unfavorable. The venue has an impressive sound system, so no matter what the conditions are, the music is heard throughout the grounds.
Mel Lynn has a beautiful voice, is a compelling songwriter and accomplished guitar player. Come out and see her, and as always, SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC!
