Naughty librarian energy mixed with the wholesomeness of Ms Frizzle and whimsy of Phoebe from Friends, "Harping" Mel Rich is harping life back into the autoharp, an antiquated instrument surprisingly well suited for singing punk, pop, rock, and more.
She slings the autoharp like June Carter's Johnny Cash's guitar slings his, and her original songs are being released gradually.
To find her, you merely need to chant, "Harping Mel" three times in a row-- Either that, or simply search "Harping Mel" on most platforms:
A musician who is also funny, Harping Mel knows how to put on a good show. More than sixty Dallas comics, storytellers, musicians, and performance artists have taken the stage for one of her Harp On Variety shows.
Although based in Dallas, TX, Harping Mel has performed across the country. Her full-length variety show fundraiser at the historic Kalita Humphreys Theater raised more than $1.1k for the NEXUS RECOVERY CENTER. Other shows have benefited Amplified Minds and the Alzheimer's Association.
Her song choices are unusual for such a rare folk instrument as the autoharp, but that is part of what makes each of her shows so memorable!
