Melissa is a singer songwriter with influences from Emmy Lou Harris to rock bands like U2. She has done many live appearances around the local Edmonton scene in clubs and bars, as well as music festivals such as Edmonton Chante, North Country Fair, Sasquatch Festival, Taste Of Edmonton, and Deep Freeze. She has also toured in Quebec and across Europe twice. Melissa has released three albums, Glow, The Time Has Come, and Snowflakes and Arrows, which included guest appearances by her favorite Edmonton artists like Darren Maltais, Jay Sparrow, Bill Bourne, Ann Vriend and Shuyler Jansen. For over 13 years she has been commissioned to sing "O Canada" in Cree, French, and English at the annual National Aboriginal Day celebrations from the Legislature grounds to Canada Place. She is excited to bring new material to the forefront with her current ensemble with Darren Maltais and Mike Berg.
Darren has been playing in bands since a young age, touring western Canada with Nonfiction, a rock powerhouse that played with groups like Wide Mouth Mason, and Bif Naked. He later played festivals like the Deep Freeze Festival, the North Country Fair, and the Edmonton Folk Music Festival with Michael Joseph and the Ridges as well as Edmonton Chante and the Canoe Volant with songwriting partner Joel Lavoie. With blues, rock and folk influences, Darren is a powerful vocalist and original songwriter with influences from Townes Van Zandt to Willie Dixon. Darren's song, No Bright Light, was featured in CBC's Searchlight contest and he continues to produce new music.
Together, Darren and Melissa are bringing years of performing and songwriting experience together to create and perform original music as well as fantastic covers. With tight harmonies, guitar chops, and folk and blues harmonica, this duo has it all. Their shows delve into the deep roots of the best known songwriters, but also include the fun and goofiness of popular songs from every decade. The intimacy of their performance is palpable and delivered with a unique sincere honesty that is shared with each audience member. Joining them is Mike Berg, a bass player with years of gigging experience and the grooves that round out the sound.
Whether it's for a backyard concert, a bar, or a music festival, you can count on a solid show that will get your guests in the mood for memorable fun! For bookings, please contact darrenmaltais@gmail.com or melissamajeau@gmail.com
