Born and raised in Yuma, Arizona, Country Singer Melody Dunn knows what it’s like to be a blister in the sun. As a matter of fact she’s always been a stand out, never being able to escape the attention her natural flair brought her, she was always on the front line challenging success, and she still is. Melody discovered her great Country Twang while studying classical voice at The University Of Arizona, and it’s no surprise that the first ever country album she bought was Reba McIntire, as a matter of fact she sang along to it constantly and the influence shows in Melody’s voice today. As a local news anchor for Yuma News and becoming Miss Yuma County, you would think that a woman would be satisfied with the celebritism those roles attracted, but the music stage was persistent and Melody found it hard to go a day without singing, then she met friend and co-writer Ben Thorpe. Together they began developing a great catalogue of Country tunes and before long melody found herself in Nashville recording her first album where she also met Rachel Mann from Australia, now her manager. Performances at Tootsies and The Stage verified Melody’s desires and the rest is history. The second album has been licensed for distribution in Australia and for digital distribution worldwide. Her first international tour will see her doing 20 dates in Australia before heading back for SXSW and more showcase touring in the USA. The album “Single Red Rose” will be released in Australia on November 3rd along with the video clip to the title track being aired on Country Music Channel and several Australian MTV style shows.
