MELT
Pulsing with the energy of their hometown New York City, ‘If There’s a Heaven’ (2024) is the debut album from indie band Melt. Melt is simultaneously at their most airtight and freewheeling–evoking the raw, communal spirit of Fleetwood Mac as much as the modern, danceable hooks of MUNA. Recorded live to tape with producer Sam Evian (Big Thief), the eleven tracks span feel-good, existential pop (“Plant the Garden”), classic love ballads (“Your Name”) and lush, soulful rockers (“Heaven”). Melt’s debut is a joyous, timeless soundtrack for growing up and finding community.
Melt formed in 2017 and saw early success with their first single “Sour Candy.” Quickly spreading out across the Northeast for college, the band reunited to tour over weekends and cut their teeth playing everywhere they could, from packed basements to sold-out theaters across the country. Called “one groovy super-organism” by NPR, the band’s intuitive connection as players and unique combination of sounds has found them supporting a wide array of artists such as Grouplove, Lawrence, and Greensky Bluegrass.
More than seven years since their first show, Melt has refined their ecstatic live set and cemented their status as a band to watch. Catch them on tour this Spring across North America.

KATIE LYNN SHARBAUGH
Katie is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee. A recent Berklee College of Music graduate, her music fuses singer-songwriter pop with jazz and R&B. Katie began her journey in music at her summer home in Ireland where she learned to play Irish traditional fiddle tunes by ear. In the ten+ years following, she trained classically in both violin and viola and learned to self-accompany on piano. Her classical career consisted of participation in various orchestras and chamber groups including the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, Pennsylvania Music Educator Association Orchestras, and Nelly Berman School of Music chamber groups and orchestras. Katie uses many elements of traditional strings music in her original songs, featuring viola themes and solos as vocal counterparts. In the summer of 2021, Katie released her debut EP, "Little Blue Beetle Volume 1" on all streaming platforms. Volume 2 of the project was released in winter of 2022 and features her latest single, "Amelia," which documents the highs and lows of life following the COVID-19 shutdown. Katie's music combines the nostalgia of 70s soul with modern storytelling, often even referencing stylistic features of American musical theater. Some of Katie's artistic influences include Stevie Wonder, Fiona Apple, Sara Bareilles, King Princess, Olivia Rodrigo, and Daniel Caesar.
