Episode 5

This week, we welcome Melrose (Melissa Rose) of Art by Melrose Tie Dye to the show. Originally from Charleston, SC, she discusses her introduction to the Grateful Dead, which started around 2007 and eventually brought her to the west coast where she has lived for the past 10 years. We delve into her passion for art and how tie dyeing became her current favorite medium to work in. She started tie dying with Jammin’ On in 2017 and then branched out on her own in 2019 to create Art by Melrose. You can find her at west coast music festivals and the upcoming west coast Dead and Co. tour this summer. She currently resides in Petaluma, CA with her fiance, JP McLean (bass player for Melvin Seals & JGB) and their amazing 11 year old dog Rosebud.
