Dan Melchior is a British-born musician and songwriter known for his prolific output and eclectic style, often blending garage rock, blues, punk, experimental noise, and folk influences. He first gained attention in the late 1990s with the Medways scene and through his work with Billy Childish, later forming Dan Melchior's Broke Revue, which became a staple of early 2000s underground rock. Since then, Melchior has gone solo, releasing numerous albums that veer across genres, showcasing his restless creativity and DIY ethos.
Over the years, Melchior has become something of a cult figure in American and UK underground music scenes. His recent releases — including titles like Hill Country Piano and Filthy Frozen River Rag — reflect an increasingly exploratory approach, often mixing lo-fi aesthetics with abstract lyricism and instrumental experimentation. Despite flying under the mainstream radar, Melchior's vast and varied discography has earned him a dedicated following among fans of outsider rock and home-recorded oddities.
