Mango Melody
Mango Melody is the brainchild of brother and sister songwriting team Mike and Tracey Stockalper, who hail from Encinitas in North County San Diego, California. Mike and Tracey are notoriously goofy people who for years pursued their own “serious” separate musical inclinations only to find that when playing together what seemed to emerge was music of a more playful, dynamic, fun, and much more life-celebrating flavor. After spending some time playing and performing mostly cover music around North County San Diego, the duo eventually formed Mango Melody in 2012, and immediately undertook to write original songs. What resulted was “Fruit of Happiness”, their first album, now available for sale on their website.
The duo’s first album has received some wonderful acclaim both domestically and abroad. Two of the songs from the album (“Waiting Room” and “The Beach Song”) have been featured on local radio stations KPRI 102.1 and 91.1 (91X). Also, in early 2014, another song from the record (“Don’t Be Scared to Try”) was featured at TEDx Encinitas in early 2014, where the duo was invited to performed an acoustic version of the song for the audience.
To book Mango Melody live, please call Mike at (760) 214-7216. Mike and Tracey can perform as an acoustic duo for smaller events (and private events), or can be joined by other talented musicians on bass, drums, saxophone, and/or guitar for a fuller band sound. In other words, they can rock the house, or provide nice pleasant music for texture at your party or venue. The duo performs original music as well as an array of covers spanning various decades in pop music.
