Melissa Ferrick is an singer-songwriter from Boston, Massachusetts. She’s releasing her 12th original studio album . Melissa is choosing to self-title this release as it marks a “return to self,: She re-launched her record label, Right on Records, by building a new online member-based platform with a colleague.An evolution in the sound she has developed over the course of her expansive career and catalog, the record is also a creative departure in its collaborative approach to the recording process for the multi-instrumentalist. The result is a raw, rootsy record set to a sweeping Americana/alt-country soundtrack that layers pedal steel guitars and background harmonies into some of the lushest, brightest songs of Melissa’s 20-year career.
