Melissa Hembree is a country folk-rock music singer-songwriter from right here in Okemah! She fronts the acoustic trio, The Union, where she is joined by her husband, Bruce Metcalf on bass, as well as Michael Kindell on lap steel and lead guitar. Hembree has been touring and playing music professionally for 4 decades and is currently writing for a new project. She hopes to be in studio by the end of the year.
“The twist here is that it is done with a fine edge, a fine sense of humor, and biting wit. This is the story of a woman who has been around the block and remembers every scenic turn in the road. And she’s used every single one of them to her advantage.” (Rick Reilly, Corridor Magazine)
