"Rain or Shine” is the second full-length album for Melissa Mitchell, following her first album, “Alma.” Her freshman release was an eclectic mix of songs that takes the listener through the highs and lows of life’s journey. The same can be said for “Rain or Shine” however, the songwriters level of growth and maturity are quite evident in this new batch of songs.

“I’m a human being singing my truth,” says Melissa. “It’s nice to know my music touches a chord within people and it helps get them where they’re going. Each song is different and it will take somebody somewhere.”

"This young band is noted as one of Alaska's best dance bands and it is true, but what singles them out is the soulful spiritual message carried by the sounds and words of Melissa's original music." Susan Mumma - Director, Seldovia Arts Council
 
"Melissa's talent is unavoidable, her music turns your head and pulls you in."

"...Her voice bounded and echoed, powerful enough even to stop the buzzing of machinery that was grinding grass and other organic ingredients."
Corrina Delgado - Anchorage Press 8/06

"...(Her) original songs tell stories from a perspective wiser than her 26 years..." Richard Moeschl - Tempo 2/6/4

"a powerful voice . . . (she) may have only been writing for six years, but has been singing since day one."
 Kim Rogers - KVMR Nevada City CA 1/23/4

Melissa Mitchell  "Freakin' Live"  named KVMR Nevada City, CA Top 5 broadcaster picks 2004

Melissa has lived in rich community of musicians, building strength in her guitar playing.  Sweet Melodies to waltz or rock to.  Melissa's solo release shows her ability to poetically communicate genuine beauty in a comfort zone of the heart - her strength as a wordsmith.  Check out her new release with Pete Townsend and Tony Restivo of the Photon Band.

"As I traveled around Alaska late summer I managed to see a few bands and photograph some shows. I am a huge fan of singer/songwriters who are creating unique music all their own. To this end I only purchased one CD and that was Melissa Mitchell's "Alma". Monty Chandler ~ Monty Chandler Photography
