Melinda toured with her band The Mezcaltones at the Tamworth Music Festival 2015 – 2018. A whirlwind tour playing nine successful shows in six days each year. They created quite a buzz on the local scene… so much so, that local radio station 88.9 fm requested an interview and played their first single Painted Lady. The Mezcaltones livened up the festival with their unique Tarantino take on country music and were a hit with those punters looking for something new; consequently the band were asked to do extra shows. Returning to Sydney for their Official CD launch, with a featured story in the Manly Daily paper!
