Melissa McClelland (born 1979) is an American-born Canadian singer-songwriter who lived in Hamilton, Ontario, in her youth and now bases her career from Toronto. McClelland's music is influenced by blues and americana. A writer on CMJ's staff blog wrote that McClelland has "a persona reminiscent of a female Tom Waits."〔http://www.cmj.com/relay/?p=4483〕 ==Biography== Melissa McClelland was born in Chicago, Illinois. She spent her youth in Burlington, Ontario before developing her career in Toronto. McClelland married Luke Doucet on 24 June 2006; the two have played together on numerous stages, including at the 2006 Calgary Folk Music Festival. He has produced three of her records, ''Stranded in Suburbia'', ''Thumbelina's One Night Stand'' and ''Victoria Day.'' In 2006 McClelland opened for Matthew Good's solo acoustic tour across Canada. During the tour the two singers closed Matthew Good's set with a duet performance of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt". She also works with Sarah McLachlan, providing backing vocals at her live shows. McLachlan makes a guest appearance on the song "Go Down Matthew" from McClelland's album ''Thumbelina's One Night Stand''. "Skyway Bridge" (off of ''Thumbelina's One Night Stand'') features Greg Keelor from Blue Rodeo. Additionally, McClelland is the only guest artist on Blue Rodeo's 2008 live album, ''Blue Road''.〔Blue Road liner notes〕 In 2007 McClelland opened a tour with Jesse Cook and sang on his recording of "It Ain't Me Babe" (a Bob Dylan cover) which was released on his 2007 album ''Frontiers''. "It Ain't Me Babe" was released as a single from that album, which spent 3 weeks in the top position on Billboard's world music charts. Also in 2007, McClelland's "Passenger 24" won in The 6th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Americana Song.〔(Independent Music Awards - 6th Annual Winners )〕 McClelland's song "Rooftop" was featured on the 2005 soundtrack CD of the television series ''Degrassi: The Next Generation''. The song was played on the ending montage of the 2004 episode "Time Stands Still Pt. 2", in which a main character, Jimmy Brooks (Aubrey Graham) was shot by a bullied student, Rick Murray (Ephraim Ellis). She also performed the theme song for the children's reality show ''This Is Daniel Cook''. In 2008, she contributed to the soundtrack of the film ''One Week''.〔Bell, Kathleen (5 March 2009).
