Artist History I've been playing guitar since the early 80's. In 1990 I won the Fender Guitar Warz competition in my area and ended up placing in the top 5 in Canada. My Cd "Sorta Purple" is a compilation of instrumental rock tunes written from '90 to '96. I never thought to release any of these tunes but with the birth of MP3.com, I thought why not! I've recently started experimenting with my voice. I've never sung much before now and am having a blast writting Alternative/Rock tunes... I'd love to write, record and play music full-time but for now I'm a Post Sound Editor by day, play gigs on the weekends and do the occational clinic for Yamaha ( DG80 amp and Ty Tabor Guitar ).Recent T.V. shows using my music: What The Canuck?, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Made In Canada, The Itch, El Mundo Del Lundo, & Works.

Press Reviews "Don't delay visiting the Bob Melanson site on Mp3.com - before long some big record label is going to own the exclusive and you'll only be able to hear this great performer if you spend some money. And while you're listening, don't blink or leave the room for even a moment - you'll certainly miss something amazing!" ... B.J. Collins, Funender Review Crew. "Mr. Melanson, I salute you. 20 years of playing the guitar have seriously made you one of the best I have ever heard, ever" ... C. Mitchel Marinos, Gods Of Music. "Bob can certainly play well. There are elements of fancy playing but he does not forget melody. I compare him to Joe Satriani in this aspect as Joe always ensured melody was a part of his songs." ... Chris Betteley, Gods Of Music.
