Some Melissa Neels Band reviews

"Melissa Neels is a dynamic blues woman! She has the presence and style to be the next big thing in blues. She has excellent presence on stage and her ability to bring the audience into her world. I highly recommend Melissa for anyone wanting a blues show. Her original material is excellent and I hear at least two songs on the new album that radio needs to hook into. Melissa Neels is THE REAL DEAL."

"Melissa is one of St. Louis' up and coming blues musicians. A damn good guitar player too! Her styles range from Bonnie Raitt to B.B. King mixed with a strong dose of St. Louis. Catch her live....Melissa's energetic live performances are really her strength and every show brings something new!"

"The sizzling sounds of The Melissa Neels Band are always a pleasure. Great blues women of the 20's helped launch this genre, and Melissa carries the baton today!"

Melissa Neels’ music is uplifting, positive rock ‘n’ blues, a sure-cure for whatever ails you! Melissa broadcasts a message of inclusion & acceptance for EVERYONE, everywhere she appears. Experience the love with the Melissa Neels Band – get on out and see/hear them performing for YOU throughout the St. Louis region!

We have known Melissa since the beginning of her career. With each album she has solidified her mark on the St.Louis music scene. Melissa has a Bonnie Raitt attitude, but with her own distinct voice and musicality.

“We have booked Melissa Neels and her band for a number of years to entertain our guests who join us in large numbers after Cardinal baseball games. Not only do they consistently do a great job and keep our guests involved by listening and dancing but they are also very professional and easy to work with. We recommend them highly for your musical needs."

The Melissa Neels band has become one of my favorite bands to see in St. Louis. Their solid rhythm section, the tasteful guitar riffs, and Melissa’s great stage presence is always the perfect recipe for an unforgettable show. Their deep repertoire of songs makes every show feel like something new instead of a cookie cutter show with the same 30 songs every night. The Melissa Neels band has a great blues foundation but is always diverse with elements of rock, jazz, and country sprinkled in on the top, creating a sound all their own, even when covering other bands’ music. If you’re looking for a fun night out, Melissa’s shows are a sure-fire solution!"
