A Night of Stories, Songs and Modern Miracles in Cranbury

Holy Grounds Coffee House is starting the New Year off right with a powerfully moving evening of live music and testimony. Holy Grounds Coffee House, 21 N. Main St. Cranbury, NJ, kicks off its 4th year of serving the community with Nashville recording artist and public speaker, Melanie Waldman as she begins her 2025 Northeast tour on Friday, Jan. 3 in Cranbury, NJ.

It’s an evening of "Stories & Songs" chronicling Melanie's transformative journey from darkness to light and from despair to hope.

“On the outside I appeared the picture of success,” stated Melanie. “After graduating from the Boston Conservatory of Music, I married a lawyer, released a debut record at NYC’s notorious Mercury Lounge and became the youngest director in a Fortune 500 company, all while raising a beautiful baby boy. Inside, however, was a darkness fueling perfectionism and incessant striving.”

Melanie crafts an evening of beauty that entertains and inspires audiences. Weaving together original compositions with her poignant testimony, she delivers a message of profound hope.

“There was chaos, but now there is peace,” revealed Melanie.” There was sadness, but now there is joy. There was loss, but now there is abundance. I want to tell everyone!”

Melanie’s life and music has been showcased on CornerstoneTV, Moody Radio, JubileeCast, NRT, Worship Leader and CCM magazines. Her music has been streamed by millions and can be found on playlists including Spotify’s "New Music Friday Christian" and Apple’s "New in Christian" music.

Admission, as well as coffee and desserts are free, but reservations are a must as seating is limited. Tickets can be found on Eventbrite @ HolyGroundsJan3.Evenbrite.com.
