Melanie Doane accompanied by Mike Borkoski - 2010

Show date(s): June 25th, 2010 - June 25th, 2010

When accomplished Canadian multi-instrumentalist, songwrite and singer, Melanie Doane wrote "Happy Homemaker" for her breakthrough album Adam's Rib in 1998, she couldn't have known how the song would eventually take on a whole new meaning in her life a few years down the road. With the birth of her first child in 2001, and a second in 2003, the poignantly poetic lyrics describing one woman's struggle to balance a career and a home life became Melanie's reality - one which would prove to be both chaotic and tranquil, and ultimately the inspiration behind her breathtaking new work, A Thousand Nights. The album features Melanie on piano, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, and of course, vocals, while the special guests list boasts a brilliant entourage of Canadian musicians, including Jim Cuddy, Ron Sexsmith, and Ted Dykstra, to name a few. The result of these efforts is a new collection of songs that exceeds Melanie's original intentions. It's not quite a lullaby album, not quite a covers album, not quite a pop album and yet, not really a folk album either. Nevertheless, one thing that remains evident about A Thousand Nights is that it is all Melanie Doane, and that means the musical landscape is soulful, moving, and imaginative.
