Back in March, emscee made a post about a young chanteuse from Philadelphia he'd just seen in concert by the name of Melody Gardot.Ms. Gardot, whose voice is a soul-stirring mixture reminiscent of Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux & Fiona Apple, is an as-yet unsigned musician working the club scene when she can.Thing is, as the result of a horrible accident in 2003 at age 19, during which she was...

I was the last person who could squeeze into the tiny club on Allen Street last Saturday night. I was practically pinned against the door. But I stayed to see all of Melody Gardot's set. She is quietly riveting, cool and congenial, and wildly gifted. It reminded me, a little, of seeing Jeff Buckley for the first time at Sin-e, or Nellie McKay for the first time at Sidewalk. She has that kind of...

I had never heard of Melody Gardot until this song showed up on one of my song-of-the-day podcasts I subscribe to the other day.

This artist has been under my hat for the last year or so, she's still unsigned but I'm guessing her latest release and tour will be making some new connections for this diamond in the rough. I have posted one of her older songs, "Wicked Ride", but also a video off her latest work, Worriesome Heart. For a young woman she's had her challenges as you will see in this video, she was struck by a ca...

--- - |- "In my eyes, there's two kinds of music. There's the kind that rushes out at you, and the kind that settles in and lets you come to it. I prefer the latter of the two. I like the idea of hearing music in the distance; you're drawn to it and you want to know what it is. To me, that's beautiful, that's the essence of listening to music: discovering it. exploring it and finding those l...

What can just one woman do? Well if your Boadicea you could take on the Romans - but maybe just being one hell of a good blues musician is good enough for you. That's the case for Melody Gardot who has been stunning the blues, jazz and acoustic scene for a while now. When I first [...]
