Melodic Revolution Records (MRR) was formed in October 2004 by Nick Katona and his wife Jennifer. It began out as a music store in Clinton, NY selling compact discs, DVDs, Vinyl and memorabilia.
In October 2005, an art gallery was added to the shop, simply called "Revolution Gallery". In June 2006 the "Revolution Gallery" was expanded by an additional 400 square feet and became a live venue known as "Live at The Revolution" at night and "Revolution Gallery" by day. The Kevin Thompson Trio was the first to play this new site. This started a new tradition of a live performance from local artists such as Rocky Graziano, Ryan Miller, Dave Snediker and The Jellyfish, as well as National and International touring artists such as Bless the Fall, As Tall As Lions, Alesana, Flutter Effect & Reed Foehl to name a few.
In 2006 Nick created and launched the Clinton Art and Music Festival held in the Historic Village of Clinton, New York.
2006 also saw the launch of Melodic Revolution Records (MRR) as a new independent label. The first Artist to join that label's roster was California based Progressive Rock/AOR band Echos Landing for their debut release "Closer To You" and soon followed by Arizona solo artist Laurie Larson for her sophomore release "Aquila".
