Melanie Dekker

First: MELA Then after this show, same night, same stage: THE WHISKEY DICKS Melanie Dekker (Deep Cove, BC) is a roots-pop sensation with a voice like chocolate. Her dutch background grabs you with an easy going, quirky & energized style. In concert she intertwines vivaciously expressed stories with memorable feel-good songs. She’s got world-class guitar chops and brings a banjo on tour as well! Under her belt is the Canadian hit song ‘I Said I’, and in 2021 she released her 9th studio album (A Christmas album inspired by 50’s feel good tunes “The New Old Fashioned Way”!) She's opened for Diana Krall, Bryan Adams, Russell Peters & Faith Hill and meanwhile has spent more of her career thus far in Europe. You can enjoy a string of popular youtube videos which include her own wisdom tooth removal, a “Worry Gets you Nowhere” storm in BC, and a romantic run-in with a mannequin. On the most honourable note, she has received a Medal of Honour for her tours in Afghanistan and a special song named “Wounded Soldier”, reminding us that love could be the bravest thing of all. Of note-The sensational sidekick you’ll hear her perform with today, is producer Allan Rodger. He adds his rockin’ and soaring electric guitar, and stomp box to inspire you further. www.melaniedekker.com || www.facebook.com/meldekker || * photo by @jeniaria_photography Follow us on instagram: @melanie.dekker
