About Us!
Kelsey has had one goal for the last few years: to perform all of Carole King’s 1971 album Tapestry, which she deems the best album of all time. When the New Jersey Fringe Festival in Hammonton, New Jersey was announced to be coming back after the pandemic, she knew she had to make this dream come true. Thus The Melodymakers were born!
The Melodymakers are a modular group of musicians from the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas. Although the members of the band shift, the band is always led by Kelsey Brown, lead vocalist and pianist. The Melodymakers’ goal and mission is to resurrect amazing music from the 1960’s - present by folk and rock artists back into the cultural zeitgeist for new generations to hear and be inspired by. Music by artists such as Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor, just to name a few, are artists that inspire us as musicians and that we want to pass that inspiration and meaning onto our audiences. Join us on our musical journey to bring that mission to life!
