Melissa Levis thrives every day as she exuberantly celebrates her mid-life renaissance. After 25 years as a New York City songwriter, Melissa took a leap of faith. She traded her unhappy marriage and skyscraper on the Upper East Side for a 'Green Acres' life in Manchester Vermont. Now this prodigal daughter is a singing family innkeeper beside her father, siblings, son and Canine Concierge, Jetson, at the Wilburton Inn.
Melissa shares her enthusiasm for decorating, party throwing, parenting, hospitality, traveling, and of course her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Parisian beau. Melissa wakes up happy full of wonder and appreciation for her ever winding Yellow Brick Road of adventure.
Melissa spent the past 30 years writings and performing Custom Songs for philanthropists, politicians, movie stars and CEOS. From 2005-2015, she was an children's rock star performing for thousands of kids every year helming her band, Moey’s Music Party. Her CD, “Princess Revolution!” received a Parents’ Choice Gold Award. Melissa began her career leading a cheeky Hamptons rock band, Melissa & the Moguls. Their CD was "Ooh La La Hamptons!" Her award-winning musical, “The Joys of Sex” transfered from the New York Fringe Festival to a million dollar run Off-Broadway. Melissa has been profiled in The New York Times, The New York Post, Harper's Bazaar and others. She loved writing for the Huffington Post and is honored to write for Thrive Global. She is a graduate of Middlesex School and Brown University and has an MFA in Musical Theatre Writing from New York University. She gave a TEDx talk on the Midlife Renaissance.
