Melissa Newman

January 22, 2026 By Craig OConnell

Melissa Newman

January 22, 2026 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

$10.76 – $20.76

Melissa Newman , vocals
Tony Lombardozzi, guitar
Phil Bowler, bass
Bobby Leonard, drums

Join us for a warm evening of hot Jazz at Westport’s own Jazz Inferno! Melissa  is a natural talent, and really makes every song she sings her very own. With a band like this, the evening is sure to be way over the top. This show always sells out so be sure and get reservations early!

Melissa Newman had a lucrative career singing jingles for companies like AT&T and Chevrolet. Locally she has  performed at the Blue Lemon, Tengda, and Harvest in Westport,
with guitarist Tony Lombardozzi and bassist Phil Bowler.

Melissa also makes, shows and sells ceramic and porcelain sculpture. Melissa’s work is featured in the current major exhibit, “The Weight of Memories” at the Norwalk Art Space.

And if that is not enough, we celebrate Melissa as an author!  She has a new book out entitled “Head over Heels”, a love story in words and pictures.

She lives in Westport with her husband and two sons.

If tickets are showing sold out below, send email to be placed on the waiting list for the 7:30 show
