Excerpt from 2024 interview with Zach Tate, Waves Magazine, Galveston
If it is at all possible to have musicality in your DNA, Texas City singer-songwriter Melissa Jones Auld might be a good candidate to support that theory. Though her maternal grandfather, J.T. Tucker, was a country music artist in West Texas in the 1950s and may have passed on the country twang gene, it didn’t fully blossom in Auld until she was 32 years old. Born in Arlington, Texas in 1974 and raised in the Dallas area, it wasn’t until 2005 when Auld was 31 that she received her first guitar from her father.

"Whatever the reason for feeling the blues, find yourself a seat or standing spot at a Melissa Jones Auld gig, and she'll sing the blues right out of you. Her Texas twang, combined with her hand clapping, foot-stomping beat. leaves no room for feeling down and out. Once she starts belting out her tunes, there just isn’t enough space for your own blue feelings. She’s a country music singer/songwriter ready to kick it up and she isn’t even wearing boots. Her stacked platforms will still walk all over you if she needs to. She also brings a lot of contemporary themes to her work while keeping it real country."

'Melissa Jones Auld is a Texas firework show, whose fuse was lit when she stepped on an open-mic stage for the first time at age 36 – as a three-times-divorced, single mother of two children – and played an original song. Since then, she has spent the past decade exploding across the Southwest, setting the places she’s called home in Texas, Utah and New Mexico ablaze with her fiery country rock.
