Melissa Mary Ahern - Kerosene

Melissa Mary Ahern’s childhood took her across the United States Of America. Only as an adult has she been able to put down roots. Currently calling New York her home. Releasing music with friends and associates, including Sufjan Stevens, for well over a decade, for the last few years Melissa has written and composed alone. Connecting with UK label, FatCat Records, Melissa has previously issued a trio of singles, and now has an album of material ready to go. Titled “Kerosene”, the set’s songs explore the loss of a loved one, a sibling, and her struggles with sobriety. Learning to see the world clean, with a new clarity, while memories of hurrahs, extended destructive benders, and hangovers are still constant companions. Shadows at her shoulder.
