Singer-songwriter Mel Dalton is back on KMAS after more than a decade, and she’s got a lot of stories to tell. In this conversation from the North Mason Chamber of Commerce office, Mel shares how she went from growing up in Bremerton to playing full-time in Coeur d’Alene, why she keeps coming back every year for the Healing Hearts Fund fundraiser, and how everyday moments—a lottery billboard, a long drive, a season of grief—turn into songs.
Mel talks about her new single “Chameleon,” a song about dropping the disguise and finally being yourself, and gives a powerful live performance in the room. She also opens up about “Key of H,” written years after losing her fiancé, and the moment another musician quietly recognized the loss hidden in the lyrics.
