In her Austrian home country as well as in neighbouring Germany, Mel Mayr from Salzburg has been a much-reviewed, award-winning and radio-playlisted artist for years. She made a name for herself with a remarkably strong pair of lungs and her unfailing ear for a tune. On her just-released new album ‘Go or Run’, Mel Mayr has gone back to the idea of self-producing and in the process created some of her rawest and most dynamic music yet. In her !irst live show in the UK, she will perform at the Gare du Nord Records mini-festival.
