Hailing from Ennismore, Ontario, singer-songwriter and fiddle player Melissa Payne brings her signature small-town charm, quick wit, and big-hearted storytelling to every stage she steps on. Whether she’s standing on kick drums and tables or sitting still and pulling at the heartstrings with songs like “Strong Heart,” Melissa knows how to captivate a room.
She has opened for iconic Canadian acts like Blue Rodeo and shared stages with artists including Matt Mays, Terra Lightfoot, and many more. This May, Melissa releases brand-new music and can’t wait to share fresh songs with both familiar faces and new friends in Chelsea, Quebec.
Stay tuned for her upcoming single “John Prine Cassette Tape,” featuring the salty East Coast vocals of Adam Baldwin — a heartfelt nod to the music that shaped her.
Join Melissa Payne and her band for a night of storytelling, charm, and high-energy connection at Motel Chelsea.
With opening support KYLER TAPSCOTT
