Mitch Melodia is an author, musician, and Jenga enthusiast. His debut Science-Fiction novel The Battle for the Moon: Part I was recently released on Amazon. The first of a Sci-Fi series, ebook, paperback, and hardcover versions are now available on the world's largest online retailer.

Additionally, he recently his first collection of studio songs into an album called Head West Young One. Featuring songs born in New Hampshire and New England then later recorded in Colorado, Head West Young One features elements of prog, psych, acoustics, and other rivers of rock and roll.

After his mom noted that the cello would be bigger than he was at the time, the first instrument he learned 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 seemingly new 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 followed a friend out West to the jam-band-mecca of the world: Denver/Colorado. Eventually, he became a co-founding member of the four piece rock band born in the Mile High City called Polysanto. Check out the outfit's latest and greatest songs and shenanigans on socials @PolysantoMusic -

Outside of making music and writing, he enjoys hiking in the mountains, days on the beach, hanging out with friends, shows and festivals, traveling, staying active, being around medium to large sized dogs, and generally all forms of Asian food.
