Melissa Megan & Beth Marie Anderson have been selected as Semi-Finalists in the Country Category of the Canadian Songwriting Competition for their song ‘Grow Up!’
This is an incredible honour for both artists and an amazing opportunity for this beautiful song. Melissa is so excited to see her name up there alongside some of Canada’s best songwriters including Patricia Conroy, a Canadian Country legend. Melissa recorded this track at the two-time CCMA Award Winning MCC Recording Studio (Dave Temple, Johnny Gasparic & Graham Sharkey) and she could not be more happy with how they brought it to life. We are all so excited to get this tune out there for you to hear!

Finalists will be announced at the end of April and winners will be announced in May! Keep your fingers crossed!

Melissa was thrilled to find out that she had been selected by Canadian Musician Magazine and Strut Entertainment to attend the Country Music Association of Ontario’s (CMAO) “Road 2 Independence: Spring Tune Up” Conference this past weekend in Markham, ON!

The CMAO put on an amazing weekend filled with incredible insight and knowledge. The conference’s panelists included some of Canada’s most accomplished Country Artists and Songwriters including Jason Blaine, Aaron Pritchett, Patricia Conroy, Doug Oliver of Cold Creek County, and Donovan Woods! The sessions covered everything from management and social media, to working with SOCAN and tips for songwriting. Melissa met some of Ontario’s finest up and coming Country artists and was blown away by the talent at this year’s showcase including an amazing performance by fellow Windsorites Buck Twenty!

This was Melissa’s second time attending a CMAO Conference and she is truly looking forward to attending their next event. Check out her Facebook page for more details and photos from the weekend!

Melissa recently returned home from her first working trip in Nashville, TN!

A couple of months ago Melissa was introduced to Beth Marie Anderson, a Country Artist and songwriter from British Columbia through Irene Carroll of Toronto, ON. Since then, Beth and Melissa have been Skype writing together, having written a number of tracks to be featured on Melissa’s debut EP. After spending many months working together, Beth presented Melissa with the opportunity to join her in Nashville, TN for a week of writing, performing and exploring in Music City! Melissa was incredibly lucky to write with some amazing writers and artists including Robin Ruddy, Bill DiLuigi, Lynn Wilbanks, Lauren Ashley, Stevie Jewel, and Jared Suitor! She was also able to perform in FOUR of Nashville’s most notorious venues including Skully’s Saloon, The Belcourt Taps, Commodore Grille and famous Bluebird Cafe!

Melissa had an absolutely incredible trip and cannot wait to share all of the new material she wrote there with all of you! Stay tuned for photos and videos!
