Best Singer-Songwriter, 2008, 2007 & 2006Fairfield Weekly Grand Band Slam, Reader's Poll
Melissa Mulligan is eminently dig-able. Her melodies are accessible,
direct and rooted in a pop-rock tradition, and her lyrics are
thoughtful, believable and similarly direct. Mulligan writes songs, not
journal entries or op-ed columns. They display both a strong sense of
melody and a good sense of humor. They give the listener a tune to
latch onto and a sentiment to relate to. Brian LaRue, Fairfield Weekly, August, 2008

It’s only fitting that a voice like Mulligan’s frequently
has a tight melody through which to showcase itself.

Well-played, well-sung, tuneful three
minute pop songs.

There's a lyrical maturity to her work
that's apparent even when she's slyly
exercising her sense of humor.

...a new EP featuring her killer new track "Objectify Me"...
The soul-rock churner "Walk Out" shows
off her strong Janis Joplin influence
with spirited vocal pyrotechnics.
