Mell VF (formerly Mell & Vintage Future) takes the stage by storm with rootsy rhythm-‘n-blues and swinging soul. Think of Booker T. & the M.G.’s and Sly & Family Stone, sprinkled with a touch of Adele and Janis Joplin. In 2022, the trio opened for Elton John and gained international attention with their rendition of Lou Reed’s ‘Perfect Day’. Earlier this year, there was sad news with the passing of keyboardist Nico Brandsen, who had left the group due to illness six months prior. The upcoming year is marked by a new chapter, including a theater tour where Mell VF blends musical and familial DNA, intertwines stories and music, and blurs the line between fiction and truth.
