Adam Melchor debuts a brand-new guitar-driven sound with foot-stomping single, “What A Damn Shame.” The buzzing singer/songwriter most recently teamed up with Lennon Stella on the stunning collab “Light Year,” following Melchor’s Lullaby Hotline, Vol. 1 – a soothing balm after a dark past of the year for the world – earning acclaim from the likes of Esquire, Billboard, Teen Vogue, SPIN, Earmilk, and many more.
Heralded by singles “Begin Again,” “Last Time,” and My Chemical Romance cover “I’m not okay,” the 12-track record was largely inspired by the Melchor Lullaby Hotline, which Adam launched at the onset of the COVID lockdown last year, urging fans to text or email him every Sunday to hear a new song.
“Growing up, my first experiences of playing live were to restaurants and bars in New Jersey. This song is about a time I saw someone get stood up on a date. He waited, ate alone, left and the waitress came up to me and said did you see that? I said, ‘what a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night.’ I wrote this song from the perspective of getting your hopes up with a sunken heart in a not-so-country country song.”
Fans can catch Melchor’s new plugged-in setup on the road this fall on his massive 30+ date North American headline tour, kicking off in Phoenix on October 7th before making stops across the country. See the full list of dates and purchase tickets at adammelchor.com/tour.
