WESTIVAL EXPRESS TOUR INFORMATION
MELANIE BRULEE: FIRST WESTERN CANADIAN TOUR FOR “POP FOLK CABARET” SINGER — PLAYING SOLSTICE CAFÉ IN VICTORIA
“A delightful, slightly twisted cabaret-pop solo debut…written through the lens of a woman who knows who she is and perhaps even knows what she wants.” -New Canadian Music
Melanie Brulée, a unique bilingual artist who describes her music as “folk-pop-cabaret,” is undertaking her first tour in Western Canada.
With guitarist Dylan Groulx — like Brulée, he’s from Cornwall, Ontario — she’s playing dates in Victoria, Vancouver, Nanaimo and Duncan. Just after Record Store Day, the April 20 celebration of the independent music stores which remain, she’ll be promoting her two latest releases: General Electryk’s Petty Little Things on vinyl and her latest solo EP, Sucré/Salé.

Melanie Brulée moved to Toronto a year and a half ago after spending seven years back and forth between Byron Bay, Australia and Cornwall, Ontario. Since she moved to Toronto, she’s formed her own band, written a raft of new songs, sings with a gritty country group called the Ole Fashion, works at a Toronto music industry publicity company, and is a founding member of a hot new all-female independent collective called Ladies In Waiting.
Her original music is an unusual sassy-and-sweet bilingual mix of styles, influenced by Edith Piaf, Feist, Eartha Kitt, Martha Wainwright and Stevie Nicks.

Her original music is an unusual bilingual mix influenced by Edith Piaf, Feist, Eartha Kitt and Stevie Nicks. Brulée’s on-stage sassy-and-sweet-ness has captivated Toronto audiences, and now she’s bringing it (and a lead guitarist) to BC for the first of two cross-Canada tours this year.
