Melody Walker

Melody Walker is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, as well as a producer, performer, and a fervent believer that songs can change the world. Best known for her writing with Molly Tuttle, Sierra Ferrell, Della Mae, and her own band Front Country, Melody’s post-2020 recalibration has found her co-writing with her talented Nashville, TN neighbors and hosting a weekly writers’ round, “Writer’s Kitchen.” Her blend of Americana and pop has won her accolades from Merlefest to Telluride, and now the Grammys, with three songs on Sierra Ferrell’s nominated album Trail of Flowers (including Americana Song of the Year nominee “American Dreaming”), as well as co-writes on Molly Tuttle’s Grammy-winning albums Crooked Tree and City of Gold. Recent years have found Melody releasing her first solo music in a decade, stepping into her own as a songwriter and artist, and finding magic in queer collaboration. Whether teaching at music camps or playing at the Newport Folk Fest or the Kennedy Center with her Grateful Dead drag band Bertha, Melody is ready to ride whatever cosmic creative waves the universe sends her way.
