Our RISING STAR AWARD WINNER, Melonbelly specializes in providing the highest quality live music for Asheville private parties, weddings (receptions, rehearsal dinners and ceremonies), and corporate events. Shows feature intricate guitar, vocal harmony, harmonica and percussion to a huge variety of songs from Motown, oldies, beach, country, bluegrass, blues, classic rock to modern day hits: Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, The Temptations, The Beatles, Otis Redding, The Allman Brothers, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews, Zac Brown Band, Norah Jones, Jason Mraz, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson and many others. PLUS... DJ and MC SERVICE ARE INCLUDED AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.  Melonbelly performs for events of all sizes: from intimate dinners to large outdoor concerts. They have played corporate events for BMW, Toyota, Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and many many others. Clients appreciate that Melonbelly does not take up very much space and is easily able to control their volume level so that guests can still have a conversation without trying to yell above the music.  This makes Melonbelly a good fit for smaller venues where a large band would not be appropriate.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:

"We LOVE the band! Where did you find them? They are perfect! Where can we buy their CD? Oh, and by the way, your wedding was beautiful."…These are just a few of the comments we heard at our wedding reception, and we still have guests emailing us with similar remarks to this day! From the moment we talked with Cliff and Burke and listened to their music, we knew we had found our guys! They have such a huge repertoire of songs, and they even offered to learn a song or two if necessary. They were extremely professional, yet laid back and went out of their way countless times to make sure we felt relaxed and at ease. More than anything, Cliff and Burke are extremely nice guys who genuinely cared about making our wedding day special." -Brandon and Tracy T - Seven Lakes, NC


Dear Clifton and Burke, 
Thank you, once again, for helping to make our Realtor event such a success! You both are extremely talented, very friendly and always accommodating. Each time you play at one of our events we get numerous requests for your contact information. The comments I hear over and over are "Where did you find these guys?" and "The band is fantastic!". Thank you for always knowing exactly what we need for our events. We look forward to working with you again very soon!

Our corporation consists of a versatile group of people. We vary in range, ethnicity, and music preference. The music selection and entertainment couldn't have been better in that it was enjoyed by everyone. From the cocktail hour, to dinner and dancing... the positive feedback was resounding. Thank you for helping to make our corporate party such a success. We would recommend you without giving it a second thought. - Cheryl T.


"Melonbelly recently played at my wedding and they were wonderful. I have received so many compliments on the band. The guys were very accommodating to our needs and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere by playing a variety of great music that everyone could enjoy. I can not say enough nice things about Melonbelly, they would be a great compliment to any event." -Crystal W. Lexington, SC 


Hi Burke! 

We just wanted to take a minute to thank you and Clifton for a wonderful day last Saturday. So many guests asked where we found you and had many nice things to say about your talent. Everyone thought you both were great. We also appreciate the fact that you were so flexible and just willing to go with the flow. The entertainment at a wedding reception is so important and can make a huge difference in whether or not the guest have a good time (the alcohol doesn't hurt either). But really, I can't thank you both enough for being so great and for contributing to the success of the day. If you ever need a reference for other brides feel free to send them my way. We only have good things to say. Thanks again and have a great week!

Clifton and Burke gave a splendid performance at our rehearsal dinner. I would highly recommend them for any such venue.

Melonbelly performed at my wedding reception last month.  They were wonderful!  I would highly recommend Clifton and Burke for any event.  They even learned my wedding song and made the reception a wonderful experience for all both young and old.
