Special Guest
Adam Melchor
Adam Melchor takes the line between today’s off-kilter indie lullabies and the great tradition of LA singer-songwriters, and he tickles it. A New Jersey opera student and former slam poet whose road trip to Los Angeles on a whim led to his signing with a major label, Melchor plays both the soothing off-the-cusp folksinger and sonic tapestry-weaver on record (see his series of playful EPs and his lush 2022 debut LP, Here Goes Nothing!) and the jubilant rock ‘n’ roller on stage. Melchor’s new Fruitland EP is where both roles collide. Fruitland is punctuated by the plastic sunny feels of “Garment Bag” which spins the timeless warning of Hollywood glamor, the summer bummer yearning of “Peach,” and the young Bob Dylan-like examinations of information overload on “Big Time Good Time.” Named after the street in LA that Melchor now calls home, Fruitland is a tribute to his songwriting community and his journey to where he is today and presents us with his most complete self.
