New Band for the Melting Point
If possible, I would really like to hear a new
band to Athens play at the Melting Point. Their
name is NELO, and their music is to die for!!!
I've been listening to their shows around
downtown Athens this past semester and really
think that they would make a great addition to
the Melting Point's list of shows!! I don;t kow
how to contact them, but if you could get them to
play there, that would be fantastic!!!

chastain east???
I had the pleasure of coming to the Rowan/Rice
show this past Thursday evening and was impressed
with the venue, sound and the food/drink. However,
something needs to be done about the level of
conversation (loud, OBNOXIOUS conversation) at
some of the rear tables near the courtyard. It was
embarrassing. I swore that I would never return to
Chastain Park in Atlanta because of the lack of
attention paid to the artist and continuous
conversation. If my next trip to MP is a repeat
performance, I will not return there either.
Just shut up, folks!

the Full Grown band from Charlotte be invited
down to Athens! http://fullgrown.net/

october show
You finally have The Codetalkers, what a treat!
And we are all going to jump for joy to hear them
with Joe Craven. My sister and I saw Joe with
David Grisman's band about a dozen times and the
highlight of it was ALWAYs Craven with that
genius mind he posesses. THANKS - we'll be there.

Nick Edelstein Band
While listening to Nick and his band, you might
feel like you are actually at an Eric Clapton
show...the smooth rythym guitar and melodic,
rock and jazz sounds sooth the soul. He is
truly an exceptional artist and would be a great
addition to your line up.

Marcia Ball
I see by Marcia Ball's itinerary that she is
booked solidly for over a year. Any chance of
getting her back? I saw her with my daughter who
is a big fan in 2006 during spring break (not a
good time for an artist), and she was fabulous.
It was my first time at The Melting Pot, but
I've been back twice since and plan to hear
Francine Reed again on Sat. night. Thanks for
providing us with this kind of entertainment at
such a reasonable cost.

September show
There is a female trio I have heard on Radio
Paradise called "The Wailin' Jennys". Excelent
sound, great harmonies, great songs. Perfect for
the Melting Point. They are in Savannah, Sept.
22. A stop in Athens sure would be nice.

Bring Tift Merritt back!
Howdy MP,
Listen, and listen closely: Tift Merritt (solo
artist, formerly lead singer of "Chatham County
Line" and affiliated with "Two Dollar Pistols" out
of North Carolina)has a new album coming out next
month! It's her 3rd record, and I'm certain that
it will be auditory filet mignon like her two
other Grammy nominated efforts. I had the great
pleasure of catching her show at your place in
Oct. of '06, and I WANT YOU TO GET HER BACK!
PLEASE! Her tour dates are filling up fast. As a
friend, see what you can do. Keeping the faith, Gina*

Grateful but not Dead
Just wanted to say that the Tony Pritchett Band,
aka Sons Of Sailors aka Pritchett Brothers Band is
glad to be part of the ongoing music scene that is
The Melting Point. There are ghosts in that
room...benevolent spirits that really help with
the ambiance. The management and staff treat us
local, Georgia geezers as if we were stars coming
in from New York, California or Nashville. Wes
Delk is incredible and knows how to make a band
feel comfortable. The sound system is the best!
Our audience is always receptive and excited. That
makes us want to keep sweatin' and frettin' until
we drop. We hope to continue to be included in the
lineup.
-Captain Tony
