Melissa Carper

Skinny Dennis, 152 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg, NYC 11211

Opening for Melissa Carper. After the success of her critically-acclaimed 2021 release Daddy’ s Country Gold, Melissa Carper, dubbed “HillBillie Holiday” by friend and collaborator Chris Scruggs, was eager to get back in the studio. With co-producers Andrija Tokic (St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Hurray For The Riff Raff) and Dennis Crouch (The Time Jumpers) behind the boards again at Tokic’s analog paradise The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, Carper assembled that same crew of magical music makers - plus a few more - to embark on her newest effort, Ramblin’ Soul, released via Thirty Tigers. The Maybelles began as a duo in Eureka Springs, Arkansas and Melissa and Jan went on to busk in New Orleans, and just down the street at the Bedofr L train stop in Williamsburg many moons ago.
