Melody Diachun at Stage Door June 20
Award-winning Canadian vocalist-songwriter Melody Diachun and her band are set to perform in Cranbrook at The Stage Door on Wednesday, June 20.
The show is the first B.C. date of their Get Back to the Groove Tour 2018, which simultaneously marks both the release of a new recording and the launch of a new label.
The Get Back to the Groove EP showcases Melody’s soulful voice and sassy style, and demonstrates that she is a playful artist who is at home in the jazz world as well as in the blues and R&B sphere. The production reflects Melody’s love of funk and neo-soul while letting her warm, versatile, voice shine.
Get Back to the Groove is Melody’s fourth album as leader, and third self-released recording produced by guitarist-bassist, cowriter, mixing engineer, and Melody’s husband, Doug Stephenson.
With the launch of the new label Third Beach Records–named after the Vancouver spot where the two were married–the couple celebrates two decades of writing, recording, and performing music together.
“We are so excited to share this music with people for the first time,” says Melody.
Joining them at The Stage Door: Clinton Swanson on saxes and flute, Chris Andrew on keys, Mark Spielman on electric bass, and Tony Ferraro on drums. The recording is augmented by long-time collaborator Chris Gestrin on Hammond B3, and by young singer Andrew Matthews on background vocals.
CDs available exclusively at live shows.
Tickets are $15 and are available at the door and at Lotus Books. The doors open at 7 p.m. and music starts at 7:30 p.m.
