Orlando’s sweetheart
Melissa Crispo has rocked Girls at Gay Days
and Lilish Fair every year since 2004. Her band also
opened for Betty (of L-Word acclaim) at the Florida
AIDS Foundation Benefit, has played Central Florida
Pride, Daytona Pride, and Flagstaff (AZ)
Pride. She
was a finalist in the Women Who Rock Florida Battle
of the Bands 2006, and regularly plays full-band and
acoustic shows at GLBT clubs throughout Florida. Her
debut cd “A Break in the Clouds”, produced by Brett Hestla (Creed/Dark New Day) and Justin Thomas,
serves up ten heart-felt and power-packed tunes,
with a side of sarcastic humor and wit. This is one
radio-friendly/pop-rock collection that will have
you singing along in your car (and shower!) at the
top of your lungs. Filled with heartache and
discovery, these songs blend skillful songwriting
and musical craftsmanship with catchy melodies and
harmonies. Tasteful piano flavors many of the songs,
particularly the ballad-esque “You’re Gone”, while
the funk-infused “Your Place or Mine” dares you to
keep your happy ass sitting still. The cd’s
signature songs “How Crazy” and “Sweet Dreams” have
a tendency to haunt you all day long after just one
listen. The entire cd goes down smooth and easy,
like a Corona with lime on a hot summer day. Melissa
is currently on tour in IL, PA, and her home state
of NY. She is opening for Sophie B. Hawkins Dec. 1
in Philadelphia.
Hook
is an LA singer/songwriter/activist whose background
includes writing and editing projects, indie film
music licensing, studio work, and of course sordid
band life. Her ‘outside the box’ approach to music
and its influence in our lives is as unmistakable as
the rainbow flag emblazoned on her forehead. All you
lovely boyz and girlz can check her out at
www.myspace.com/planethook or email her at
