Melanie Ida Chopko's Album Release Show! 7/31 at The Mule

7pm Doors | 7:30pm Show
$20 advance | $25 door

At long last, we’re doing a big full band album release show July 31st at The Mule!

"I’m beyond proud of this body of music, music for all of us who grapple with the loneliness of modern life and the agony of modern dating. These are songs of my longing and my questions, my grief and stubborn hope, my road of giving and receiving love."

A special full band show featuring voice and piano, Nic Jenkins of infinitikiss (drums), Garron Chesson (bass), Emily Songster (trombone) and more special guests!

 For fans of Regina Spektor, Ben Folds & Joni Mitchell, fans of days without the phone and evenings on the front porch with fireflies. Come to laugh and maybe cry with us, and experience above all else, a sense of togetherness.

“‘Never Had a Love Like This’ is a dispatch from modern adulthood—a sweeping indie folk record shaped by the fog of modern dating and tech-fractured intimacy. Across these ten tracks, Chopko charts a return to the body, to human connection, and to the natural world. The album is an unflinching, satisfying work from an artist who holds an entire generation’s worth of frustration and longing in her gaze to craft for us a rare gift: recognition.”

"It’s rare that a songwriter truly tries to sift through the grey areas of intimacy and romance in search of meaning, but Chopko does just that. The images her resistance-melting voice and chords paint are so vivid you can almost touch them - the songs shine like a diamond." - Americana UK
