Elegant alternative folk-pop in the tradition of Nick Drake, Damien Rice and Mojave 3. Contemplative lyrics and strong songwriting merged with lush, yet simple production and arrangements. Music that's reflective and melancholy but never depressing and always with a tinge of hopefulness.

Dynamite Motel is an anagram for Mindy Amelotte, one of Ottawa's newest members of the local music scene.

 While she has only performed live for a year now, Mindy has been playing guitar and piano (and just recently picked up the ukulele!) for over 10 years, mixing jazz and R&B together with a heavy sprinkle of old-school blues combined with a sweet sultry voice to create a style that is uniquely her own. Mindy composes, writes and produces all her own music and currently manages herself. At the moment she has one album available (Self-titled as “Dynamite Motel”) and is currently working on her 2nd full-length album of original material. You can often catch Dynamite Motel at venues all over Ottawa!
