Mélanie Samson believes in real music. Her self-released "La Route courbée" delivers a back-to-basics product highlighting her songwriting and "killer voice."
Samson, a Cape Breton native based in Western Newfoundland's historic Port-au-Port Peninsula, began her musical career over ten years ago, performing an original song in the sold-out "Sounds from the Shore" concert, sharing the stage with Natalie MacMaster and Cyril MacPhee, among others.
In 2006, she began writing in her native French, earning herself a place on the promotional CDs "Chez Nous" and "Encore chez nous", produced by l'Association regionale de la cote Ouest (ARCO), featuring internationally rewnowned artists the Port-au-Port such as Ti-Jardin and Bernie Felix. The CD was launched in 2007 during Cape St.George's long-standing bilingual folk festival "Une Longue veillée" to great public appeal. It led to a series of concerts in St. John's and showcases on CFSX Stephenville and Radio-Canada.
Mélanie's full-length album "La Route courbée" features twelve original songs in a mix of French and English. Her acoustic, folk-pop songs speak of rural life and cultural identity.
