Adam Melchor
2022 was a busy year for singer-songwriter Adam Melchor, including tours both headlining and opening for a sold-out run of Noah Kahan dates (including a Sylvee stop); a Saturday Night Live appearance singing with Post Malone; and the release of his official debut album, Here Goes Nothing! The mostly gentle piano and acoustic guitar approach and catchy songcraft match Melchor's lighter-than-air vocals well. With an opening set by Minnesota-based popster Miloe.
$25.

The new music has already begun to receive early praise:
“…a classic pop-folk song, with soft melodies and ethereal acoustic guitar riffs. The melancholy song highlights the beauty that can come from pain, as Melchor hears somebody’s reasoning for hurting him.”—V Magazine
“The dreamy indie-folk tune doubles down on Melchor’s knack for warm harmonies and frames him as wholeheartedly in love.” —Consequence
“‘Turnham Green’ is a sobering moment of empathy.”—Ones To Watch

Melchor moved to Los Angeles in 2018 where he had sessions with everyone from Charlie Puth to The Chainsmokers, which subsequently led to tour dates alongside Mt. Joy, Dodie and Ashe, over 50 million streams to date and extensive critical praise. In 2020, Melchor launched Melchor’s Lullaby Hotline, sending out 40 original songs to over 10,000 fans. In conjunction, Melchor released a mixtape featuring his favorite tracks entitled Melchor Lullaby Hotline, Vol. 1, marking his first release on Warner Records.
Earlier this year Melchor performed with Post Malone on “Saturday Night Live,” where he sang backing vocals, and recently completed a 30-date headlining tour across the country. Melchor’s songwriting accolades include co-writes on Ashe’s “Taylor,” The Chainsmokers’ “In Too Deep,” Alexander 23’s “Loving You Gets Hard” and Allison Ponthier’s “Faking My Own Death.” He has also collaborated with Briston Maroney, Lennon Stella, ELIO, Madeline The Person and more.
