Melonie
Cannon to Perform at the Grand Ole Opry This Weekend
 Rural
Rhythm recording artist, MELONIE
CANNON will return to the Grand
Ole Opry for a performance this Saturday night, November 29, 2008 at
the Ryman Auditorium. Prior
to that evening's performance, she will appear on WSM's Opry
Warm-Up Radio Show with host Keith Bilbrey at 6:00 PM.
“I’ve
grown up at the Opry attending many performances with my Daddy
(songwriter and producer Buddy Cannon).
It feels like home to me. Some
of my fondest memories are being backstage and jammin’ in the dressing
rooms. The Grand Ole Opry is
where I’ve met so many of my idols including one of my favorites, Connie
Smith,” said Melonie. It
was with the release of Melonie’s first album in 2004 that she made
her first appearance with her band and has performed numerous times
since then on the famous Grand Ole Opry stage.
Melonie
is celebrating the release of her new album, “And The Wheels Turn,” along with the first single radio
release, “I Call It Gone.”
In January, “Back to Earth,” a beautiful duet performed with and written by
country legend Willie Nelson,
will be released to Country radio. “Cannon and Willie Nelson sound like
Angels on this one,” said Country Stars Online.
 “With her sophomore effort, And
The Wheels Turn, she continues to hone in on her acoustic
country/bluegrass flavored sound but takes it to a whole new level and
shows just how much she has grown as an artist over the past few years.
Her vocals and lyrics, as with most great country music, is what
carries a majority of the songs. Overall this is a solid album and
it’s a safe bet that any country fan from traditional to modern to
bluegrass and acoustic country is going to find something to love about
this album as it crosses genres and blends them together perfectly,”
said Today’s Country Magazine.
Look for Melonie in the December 2008 issue of
Performing Songwriter Magazine
where she is featured alongside other
diverse artists like the All-American Rejects, Q-Tip, Joey + Rory, the
Supersuckers and John Corigliano.
