Joel Melton's dynamic songwriting and crystal clear acoustic picking has earned the praise of critics:

"Melton is fast becoming one of Oklahoma's leading roots-oriented musicians."
No Depression Magazine

"Joel writes for anyone and everyone.  His songs are character driven and rife with detail."
The Oklahoma Gazette

"Melton played to a waning crowd until his boundless energy wound down and he packed it up and carried it home.  As for his audience, they went home bouncing in their shoes, amazed as always, at the fun they had for the price of a $15 ticket."
The Edmond Sun

“…solid and succinct story songs. Not only are they tightly written, but Melton’s guitar is clean and crisp…a songwriter with 24-carat talent!”
Thomas Connor, Tulsa World.

“Not only is his performance top-flight…Joel’s songs have an edge that catches your attention and takes you on a ride!”
Jim Hale, The Texas Rising Star.
