Melissa Carper ” Hillbillie Holiday”

Celebrated for her profoundly observational lyrics, her “homespun sensibility,” and a voice that

curls like a croon from a gramophone, Melissa Carper plays old school country music that

resonates across time and place. Carper’s repertoire weaves together the threads of old-time,

bluegrass, western swing, jazz, and blues that all intertwined to form American country music,

back in the days before the recording industry drew artificial lines and slapped on race-based

genre labels. Veteran Nashville musician Chris Scruggs highlighted Carper’s versatile

traditionalism when he dubbed her “HillBillie Holiday,” declaring, “She’s as good as it gets. She

has a quality that really transcends time and fashion.”
