Jackson Melnick’s first video for a song called San Diego drops today, and it s debuting right here, right now. The song is off his upcoming album
Abilene, which comes out on September 24. Melnick s sound is something he calls “progressive gospel bluegrass,” but he quickly admits that he totally just made up that genre. But maybe he has a right to: He’s 26 and has been writing songs for a decade and performing longer than that on the streets of Crested Butte, where he was raised. And while he has an album title that talks about Texas and a song set in California, his sound is very much Colorado.
