Artist Biography
Available in:

"Melissa McClelland" (born c. 1979) is an American-born Canadian singer-songwriter who lived in Hamilton, Ontario, in her youth and now bases her career from Toronto. McClelland's music is influenced by blues and americana. A writer on CMJ's staff blog wrote that McClelland has "a persona reminiscent of a female Tom Waits." Melissa McClelland was born in Chicago, Illinois. She spent her youth in Burlington, Ontario before developing her career in Toronto. McClelland married Luke Doucet on 24 June 2006; the two have played together on numerous stages, including at the 2006 Calgary Folk Music Festival. He has produced three of her records, Stranded in Suburbia, Thumbelina's One Night Stand and Victoria Day.
Awards have come in the form of Hamilton Music Awards, a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination (Contemporary Singer of the Year) and a songwriting prize for “Passenger 24” from the Independent Music Awards for Best Americana Song.
