Edit history

Hailing from the hills of Jeeralang, Gippsland, Mel Wilkinson is folk-roots one woman band from Melbourne who draws on her love of nature, art, life, light and shade, inspiring colourful harmonies, floating melodies, earthy beats and a unique timbre. Influenced by artists ranging from Nick Drake & Vashti Bunyan to Jeff Lang, her music is inspired by a range of sounds and styles, which is reflected in her writing. Live & in the studio Mel will be playing acoustic guitar & singing her own original works, accompanied by herself on the stomp drum, bass, trumpet, ukulele, djembe and cajon. In 2012 Mel played regularly in some of Melbourne’s more intimate venues such as, The Wesley Anne, Acoustic Café & Bertha Brown. Mel performed at The Melting Pot's Songwriters In The Round at The Wesley Anne in Northcote with one of her songs "Gypsy Mother" being recorded live and making it to the Melting Pot's online playlist. All the profits made from this gig were donated to "Save A Dog Scheme" in
