Trinity United Methodist’s Candlelight Concerts

is proud to present the return of:

Tom Melancon, singer/songwriter from Seattle.

The performance will be live-streamed (see link above) and also simulcast on KPTZ FM 91.9.

Admission to the concert is free (really!), with a suggested donation of $15 per person. You are most welcome to attend whether you choose to donate or not. Half of the donation proceeds from this concert will go to Tom’s chosen charity, Society of St. Vincent De Paul East Jefferson County, whose mission is to respond to the emergency needs of people in our community by offering financial assistance and referrals as necessary.

Tom Melancon grew up in Northern Nevada and played bass guitar with several local bands in Reno, earning notice as an accomplished live performer, recording musician and songwriter. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest over 20 years ago, Tom has continued to play bass guitar with local bands, but also started turning his focus more to songwriting and solo performance.

Tom joined Mark Huff from Nashville, Tennessee on several PNW tours in 2016 and 2017.

In 2019, Tom formed his current band American Flats, a melodic Americana Band with soaring vocals, excellent harmonies and engaging musical performances. American Flats has earned a reputation as a heartfelt, passionate rock band, playing local venues and festival such as The Showbox, Bite of Seattle and the Royal Room. American Flats released their first EP “Nevada” to a sold-out show at the Royal Room in February and is getting quite a bit of play on the streaming platforms.

When Tom plays solo, he brings a mixture of the hard-hitting Americana that American Flats delivers along with other heartfelt Folk-Rock songs that he’s written and recorded. The vibe is dusky vocals with a hint of the open spaces of Nevada and the heartbreak of being alive in a complicated world.

Trinity United Methodist Church is located at 609 Taylor Street, across from the Community Center, in Uptown. Attendees should plan on arriving early – doors will open at 6:30. Masks are encouraged but not mandatory for in-person attendees.
