Melt

“THERE’S A LOT TO LOVE ABOUT MELT… EACH OF THESE SEPARATELY TALENTED PERFORMERS EXPRESS THEMSELVES LIKE ONE GROOVY SUPERORGANISM” - NPR

“POP-JAZZ ESPRESSO IN SONG FORM” - LIVE FOR LIVE MUSIC

When Melt records a new song, they turn to each other and ask “what the hell is this band?”  The septet’s sound is rooted in soul and psychedelia, infusing ethereal jam-sections into existential pop songs.  Dubbed “one groovy super organism” by NPR and “pop-jazz espresso” by Live for Live Music, the band is preparing to release their highly anticipated debut EP this Spring, over four years after their first-ever release “Sour Candy” went viral in 2017 and reached #5 on Billboard’s US Viral 50 Chart (and #6 in Canada).   

Melt sells out shows across the Northeast and repeatedly in their hometown of NYC at venues Mercury Lounge and The Knitting Factory.  Their distinctive sound has landed the band spots on a wide range of opening bills, playing their biggest show at Webster Hall with Karl Denson last December.  Melt has also played festivals around the country including Southwest Invasion (Austin, TX), the Rhode Island Music and Arts Festival, and the Pleasantville Music Festival (NY).  

Melt is: Veronica Stewart-Frommer (lead vocals), Eric Gabriel (vocals, keys), Marlo Shankweiler (guitar), Josh Greenzeig (drums), Nick Sare (saxophone), Lucas Saur (bass), and Aaron Alcouloumre (trumpet).
