Individually they are stellar, extraordinarily unique musicians, together they are veinmelter…

Bassist Nigel Dickie on vocals and harmonica leads the band with precise, strong and highly melodic bass techniques… then lays it down like an ocean roll. His lyrics? They are tales of Battle, Sunshine, Paradise, Anger and Gin. His soulful harmonica beautifully backs up vocals that are wrapped with song. Delivered with total abandon.

Guitarist Matt Rush breeds fresh guitar lines and layers with glorious tones. Also on vocals and sometimes lude dancing, Rush pumps out funked-up fury.
Occasionally the Rush man is called upon to sing swinging' love ballads or extreme country humdingers. He gives it ALL to ya!

Drummer Adam E. Bradley, rounds out the Vm trio with a rock solid foundation of rhythm and harmony that will take you to the next level of musical bliss. His style is strait out of the pocket and into the great beyond; he never fails to find the groove within the groove. Adam has an ear for harmonies that brings new dimension to veinmelter's dynamic original sound.
