...Combine his smooth tenor voice, expressive delivery and experience as a performer. Mel is outstanding!”

Mel Green / Singer-Songwriter

Available for Gigs, House Concerts & Folk Festivals. 

During the late 60s in South Africa, Mel often topped the bill at South African coffeehouses and regularly appeared at Folk Festivals. He emigrated to the USA in 1970, and he has been active in the New York ('70-'71) and Boston folk scenes (since 1972, with a few breaks when marriage, family and life intervened). 
   Mel's smooth tenor singing voice has been compared to Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon and James Taylor — his unassuming performing style is pleasant, moving and enjoyable.
    He was signed to Columbia (South Africa) in the 60s as a solo artist.  His famous folk trio, Mel, Mel & Julian recorded three innovative albums for Columbia South Africa.
   They were a hit for 4 years as a sold-out folk-comedy group at venues all over South Africa, and remained in the top echelon of folk singers at the premier coffeehouses and folk festivals.
