Description
Having grown up in a small southeastern Oklahoma town, Joel Melton reflects southern charm with a touch of urban influences in his songwriting. His songs spring from random thoughts, original ideas, and sometimes controversial topics. According to Joel, "Some of my characters I know, some are made up, some I've read about. Songs come to me when I'm thinking about people I love, watching people throw chairs at each other on daytime talk shows, or reflecting on the political state and nature of our country."
Joel's real artistic inspiration came several years back when he met pat Flynn of the New Grass Revival. Flynn's playing encouraged Melton to go beyond merely strumming the guitar, to learning the instrument and creating songs with it. Greg John, owner of Oklahoma City's Blue Door also receives credit for instigating Melton's desire to write his own songs. "I started hanging out there about eight years ago," he remembers. "Without Greg and the talent I was exposed to at the Blue Door, I might still be playing cover songs instead of writing my own." Some of the Door artists that have captured Joel's respect are the likes of Michael Fracassso, Beaver Nelson, Todd Snider, and Ray Wylie Hubbard.
