Long Bio

Mitch Melodia is an author, musician, and Jenga enthusiast. Born in New Hampshire, he eventually moved out to Colorado to become a part of its exceptional music scene, enjoy mountain hikes, and further pursue a new found love for disc golf. In 2025 he released his debut solo album title Atomic Pathways. It was the first time he wrote and played all the parts an album for drums, bass, guitars, and vocals.

Although he initially wanted to play cello at around 9 years old, his mom noted that the instrument was bigger than he was.  Agreeing, his first instrument was the violin. Quickly graduating to guitar and joining his first band The Mango Garden, he began writing original music, learning about jam bands, and entered the entirely novel world of music festivals. 

For several years, Mitch recorded, played shows, and got to perform at music festivals with various bands in New England. After two dozen years in the area, he joined a friend and moved out West to the jam-band-mecca of the world: Colorado. Eventually, he became a co-founding member of the four piece "hippie prog" band born called Polysanto. The band was thrilled to find they were awarded the title of Best Jam Band in Westword's Best of Denver 2025 issue; @PolysantoMusic on social media. 

Within the past few years, Mitch has also taken to the road performing solo acoustic shows at dozens of different venues and events within and slightly outside of Colorado. 

Along with booking and playing gigs at various venues, bars, and even farmers' markets, his solo acoustic performances for private events have included the likes of proposals, anniversaries, weddings, baby showers, and parties of all kinds.

Along with making music, writing is Mitch's other favorite form of being creative. For several years he has been working on multiple books for a science fiction series. The first book in the series titled Prelude to The Breaking of the Moon is due to be released in the Spring of 2026.

Outside of making music and writing, hanging out with friends, a great hike with a beautiful view, shows and festivals, traveling, staying active, being around medium to large sized dogs, and generally all forms of Asian food.
