Melanie Bong & Peter Čudek

At the young age of 19, Melanie met Sheila Jordan. Jordan became her mentor and has remained the strongest influence on Melanie's singing to this day. Melanie was particularly fascinated by how Jordan incorporated her own Native American ancestry into her music. 

Also Sheila Jordan was the first singer to go on stage with just a double bass as her only accompanying instrument and continues to do so successfully to this day.

Together with Peter Cudek, Melanie embarks on a musical search for Sheila Jordan's bass & voice work. Not an easy undertaking, but a very exciting one for musicians and audiences.
