artist Melissa Majeau and the Muse

Melissa Majeau has been songwriting a month after picking up the guitar in 1996. Her style draws on influences ranging from Emmy Lou Harris to U2. "Glow" the first album by Melissa Majeau & the Muse, was released in the summer of 2003. The Muse's new album, "The Time Has Come", consists of 11 new original songs. The C.D. was released at the Sidetrack Café on December the 16th, 2004. Melissa Majeau & the Muse are thrilled about their new release. Their creations will transport you to exciting new landscapes with songs like "Overdose" and "Sugar Daddy" where they light a flame under you and dancing is your only option, whereas other songs such as "The Call" and "Lavender Skies" leave you feeling as if you are sitting right beside that lit flame with a cup of tea. When Melissa isn't with her Muse, she is likely collaborating with other Edmontonian gems. She has recently played with Ann Vriend, and recorded vocal tracks for Shuyler Jansen's new release 'Hobotron', as well as one song featured on John Woroschuk's new release "Woodshed". Each performance solidifies Melissa as one of Western Canada's top artists, "set to take on the world" says Brent Oliver of the Edmonton Sidetrack Café, which inspires Melissa to commence a solo tour with Eastern Canada dates then off to Europe for the months of April and May. Upon returning and promoting the new album Melissa Majeau & the Muse will be busy with the festival season.
