Who is Mel Peterson
Melany Peterson, a beautiful, humble, southern spirit in song and mind, says, “Singing is what I do and just let me do my ‘thang’.” Vocalist Melany Peterson grew up listening to Roberta Flack, Dionne Warwick, Jerry Butler, Isaac Hayes, and Aretha Franklin. At the age of 12, Melany’s fledgling interest in singing took flight inside her hometown church in Charleston, SC where she would often be caught alone playing the piano and singing her favorite tunes. Melany’s singing took off, professionally, in 1982 with the Charleston Actors Theatre Society. First sharing her gift of song at the Garden Theatre in Charleston, SC. she then made a name for herself singing with the band Sea Breeze and by joining a gospel group, “Voices of Deliverance” which performed traditional spirituals and psalms.
Today, this “Song Bird of the South” is the key vocalist of The Mel Peterson Quartet , The Mel and Dre' Show , The Mel Peterson Gospel Ensemble and occasionally just Mel Peterson performing a fusion of Contemporary-pop, Jazz standards, Classic Country, Gospel and R & B. You can catch her performing at Swiftwater Cellars in Cle Elum and several Wineries in Lake Chelan, Issaquah and the Snoqualmie areas. Also, other great establishments over the Kittitas and Yakima Valleys. If you’re lucky, she may be playing at a private party you’re attending. Making Ellensburg her home for the past 15 years, Mel has gathered the Ellensburg musical talent to strike the heart of those who love music.
