Melanie Sandford is a Boston born, Nashville based singer/songwriter with a knack for quirky, cute, and intelligent lyrics with a smudge of sultry.

Inspired by her high school creative writing teacher, Melanie started playing guitar and performing at open mics and poetry slams in and around Lowell, Ma at age 16.

In 2004 she recorded her first EP “Could it Be?” with Producer/Engineer Bob Nash at Wonka Sound, which has an Americana/Folk/Pop flair to it.

She fronted “The Melanie Driscoll Band” in 2008 with friends from Berklee College of Music, and played many gigs in Boston bars and clubs.

Named a top 3 finalist in Boston 92.5 The River’s Rising Stars contest, and listed in HOWL Magazine’s Top “Women Who Rock” in 2009, she returned to the Mill City music scene after recovering from a rare form of breast cancer.

Melanie moved to Nashville in 2014 and married multi-platinum producer, writer, and artist, Chas Sandford. Melanie has played in a number of music festivals including 30A Songwriter’s Fest, Island Hopper, Pensacola Beach Songwriter’s Fest, etc… as well as many gigs in and around Nashville.

She won “Give a Little Nashville’s” Best Female Songwriter in 2015.

In 2019, Melanie and Chas recorded her first full-length album, “Wonderland”. The record is a blend of rock/pop/paisley underground reminiscent of Garbage, Veruca Salt, The Smiths, and The Beatles.
