Melony Rocque and Tom Taylor are the duo behind the genre-diverse band Sinéad Says Yes. Formed in 2023, the pair bonded over a mutual reverence for iconic jazz divas and the great interpretive female vocalists of the ‘60s and ’70s. Initially, the plan was to become a lounge covers band, but their musical chemistry soon ignited a powerful songwriting collaboration.
Melony and Tom craft a diverse collection of songs, each one a complete journey through different musical styles. They trust that when each composition is released, it will find its listeners and a place to flourish.
