2024 MLT Songwriting Award wniner Mel Parsons.jpg
Last year, Mel Parsons won the MLT Songwriting Award with her song 'Hardest Thing'.

Multi-award winning singer songwriter Mel Parsons is one of Aotearoa / New Zealand’s most beloved touring acts.

 

The 2020 Folk Artist of the Year is most at home on stage - her live shows are tight and compelling, with spellbinding harmonies and killer hooks entrancing from the first note. With her longtime band, Parsons toured as the NZ support for The Teskey Brothers, and is also a cast member of Kiwi musical supergroup ‘Fly My Pretties‘, with sell out tours and festival performances throughout Australasia.
