Shine into the New Day: MUSE November Concert
Join MUSE in welcoming Guest Artist Melanie DeMore for this "new spirituals" concert
presented in partnership with
the 25th Annual St. John's Unitarian Universalist Church Music Series
Singer-songwriter Melanie DeMore has a remarkable voice, weaving the fibers of African American folk music with soulful ballads, spirituals and her own original music. DeMore beautifully brings her audience together through her music and commentary. She has toured extensively, singing at festivals, universities, in coffee houses and concert halls.
In addition to her solo work, DeMore facilitates vocal workshops for professional and community-based choral groups and has taught her program called "Sound Awareness" in schools, prisons, and youth organizations in the US, Canada, Cuba and New Zealand.
DeMore was a California Artist in Residence with the Oakland Youth Chorus for 10 years and has received an award from the Music Educators National Conference for her work with young singers and artists. DeMore is also a founding member of the Grammy nominated, critically-acclaimed vocal ensemble 'Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir', a group that tours extensively in the US and abroad.
DeMore describes her music as "in the African-American folk tradition of Odetta," to whom she has often been compared, noting, "I have a very, very, very low voice." She has shared the stage with numerous artists including Buffy Saint Marie, John Prine, Josh White, Jr., Laura Nyro, Sweet Honey in the Rock and Pete Seeger.
