About

Mel Flannery is a New York City and Hudson Valley-based vocalist, equally happy singing lead and backgrounds, and songwriter. She is constantly in pursuit of irons to stick in the fire. She is the daughter of a guitar prodigy, she has a fancy degree from Manhattan School of Music and has done some cool gigs with some cool people. She looks forward to more cool gigs in the future with other cool people, she finds that kind of thing very rewarding. Scroll down for some name dropping if you’re into that.
