Press Quotes


"Tower of Talent" Jerry Lembo Entertainment Group
"I recently saw Melissa Mullins perform in a Songsalive! showcase at New York City's legendary Bitter End. If the Big Apple ever has a shortage of electricity in the future, we should import Melissa from Austin to light up our lives.
Don't be fooled by her height; Melissa is a tower of talent."


"Heartfelt" Sarah Bettens
"You've got something unique. Your lyrics are real and heartfelt, and your music comes from the heart. I wish you all the best."

Austin Chronicle reviews Solo-Style album
"Melissa Mullins offers neo-folk in a rock vein...her thoughtful, sometimes plaintive style is sweetly underscored by tough songwriting that embraces her boundless world..."

"Unique style and tonal quality" Brotherly Love Entertainment
"You have a unique style and tonal quality to your voice. I wanted to write you to wish you continued success and best of luck in the future!" Lisa Slowik, Artist Management & Concert Promotion; Brotherly Love Entertainment

Solo-Style Reviewed by GoGirlsMusic, Annette Warner
"Melissa shares her soulful lyrics and simplistic acoustic sound with unbridled guts. The raw and lonely sound is a fantastic effort for a first release. Definitely an artist to watch grow. Hit Picks: 'My Field' ".

"200% at every show" www.thefeveredbrainofradiomike.com
Melissa has always given at least 200% at every show. She has the heart of a singer-songrwriter and the soul of a Rocker. Each time we see her, it shows that she's a performer par excellence. Now she's got a band that we need to see!

Solo Style CD review - Christine Young
"Powerful solo performance by a powerful female solo star. Melissa nails her passion in this beautiful and strong recording of her solo work. The songs are written well and have a knack for sticking in my head! I am certain there is much more to come from this little fire ball....."


"Very Innovative " Four Corners Folk Festival - submission reply
"This is very innovative stuff. It's very interesting and there has got to be a place for this somewhere. Keep playing and innovating - there will be a place for this music."


Songsalive! at Ruta Maya - www.thefeveredbrainofradiomike.com
"The Songsalive! Showcase tonight, as always, was a great night. It's so fun to discover new talent, hear great music, and relax. Melissa is a great hostess."


Significant Digits CD Review - Rank and Revue Red River Magazine, Misty Sweet
"Original music mixed with fun and energy is a rare find, but one can find it on the Significant Digits album. It made me feel as if I was on a tour of Texas music, past, present, and future. I would suggest it to anyone who isn't afraid to venture out of their own musical boundaries."
