Melissa Dorres

Musician, hairdresser and writer. I have been in the beauty industry for over 20 years as a haircutting specialist. After working in the salon and as an educator for years, I was able to make the time to follow my passion for music. I took private lessons on bass guitar and eventually went back to school to study music theory and business. Now, and for the past 5+ years I have been playing bass guitar, singing and writing for my band When We Met, an experimental indie rock duo. We play locally and tour nationally. In addition to writing music, I love writing in general. I have written a poem for Harness Magazine "Don't Give Up" and a long essay on how to go about buying a bass guitar and all it's other gear for She Shreds Magazine , "Getting Bass-ic". (print issue 15).
