Speed of Life
This indie soul driven Blues-Rock project promises more of the Gypsy Rocker's signature sound...  catchy hooks, bluesy guitar riffs, and hard hittin' bass grooves accompanied by her sometimes sweet and sometimes gritty voice. In Melissa's words... "If Kelly Clarkson met up with Joan Jett and Pat Benatar, jumped into a time machine and hooked up with Janis Joplin to take an experimental musical trip, they would sound something like Melissa Ivey circa 2012."

"The passion and guitar styles of Ani DiFranco mixed with the good vibes of Janis Joplin with a bit of a punk rock edge." -HigherListening.com

“Melissa Ivey's vocal power and lack of timidity make her a captivating performer". -Xposur Magazine
