Singer-songwriter Melanie Ida Chopko writes and performs, according to one reviewer, with “wit, acuity and grace." Crafting lyric and melody into "little jewels," the music is vivid, modern folk with a big crush on everything else. If Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone and Rebecca Solnit were neighbors and hung out on Sunday afternoons, it might sound like this.
Exploring themes of belonging and our relationship to the natural world, she is as interested in the complexity of the world around her as the one within herself, presenting both with artistry, intimacy and humor.
