Premiered at the Adelaide Festival, Australia to sold out houses, the show has been toured around the world, and amassed a big following in Edinburgh and Brighton (awarded “Best International Act”, nominated “Star of the Festival”), then France, Germany, Suisse, Canada, New York City, etc… to rave reviews and sold out performances.

Movin’ Melvin will take you on a musical journey of his life through Black Music history from 50’s to 90’s… in Song, Tap-dance, Clogging, Storytelling, Characters and Comedy…

Covering everything from Gospel, Soul and Rhythm & Blues, Jazz, the infectious song and dance show has the audience movin’ and groovin’ along, with songs of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, James Brown, Jackie Wilson and more, as well as his original songs. Melvin tap-dances from Bo Jangles to Gregory Hines styles in his unique way and he clogs to Texas music.

<Melvin’s impassioned voice, his infectious laugh and wry humor, his earnest aphorisms, his characterizations like “the black preacher” make the show an unforgettable life experience>  – The Stranger, Seattle.
