Simon Melrose Music
"Freedom's Road" trailer video
Guitarist and songwriter Simon Melrose takes on acoustic blues, roots rock, with elements of Americana and country in his solo debut LP "Freedom's Road". Known primarily as an electric guitarist and sideman for various San Francisco Bay Area bands, Simon has been quietly crafting his own sound that nods to past influences while infusing a personal and unique approach to songwriting. Freedom's Road is the basic exploration of simplicity in presentation that focuses on the message.
