Melanie has played for audiences around the world, but Melanie always comes home to the Maritimes. Melanie has 15 albums to her credit, her latest 2007 CD release “Melanie Ross and Friends - From Our River”, features well known Maritime artists: Connie and Paul, the Gillis Family, Mike and Eric Mackenzie, and Frankie McKibbon. It may receive an ECMA nomination in the traditional Folk category. Melanie's new album takes you on a journey along the Miramichi River, from the head waters to the source. The playlist takes you to Boisetown, Blackville, Sillikers and Renous. Melanie includes two original compositions: “Front Porch” and “River at Midnight”, which offer a vivid memory to all who have walked along the river or sat on its banks. In the final track you relax as the mighty Miramichi meets the sea in “Letting Go”. In August Melanie headlined the opening of the 50th Anniversary of the Miramichi Folksong Festival, where she performed with Frankie McKibbon, Susan Butler, Carol Baker and La Famille Arsenault.
