U.S. singer Chris Cron will give a show Wednesday night.

    Cron is the former lead singer of Melee band, which scored a No. 1 hit in Japan and The Netherlands with their song “Built to Last.” In 2014, after Melee had disbanded for a year, Cron returned as a solo artist with a batch of new songs. Cron has a big, dynamic voice and throws everything he has into live performances with music influenced by equal parts 1960s pop, 1970s R&B, 1980s synth pop and 1990s Britpop. He is currently working on his debut solo album.

    Melee was a rock band from Orange County in California. Formed in 2000, the band consisted of Ricky Sans, Cron, Ryan Malloy and Derek Lee Rock. The group released their debut album “Everyday Behavior” under Los Angeles-based independent label Subcity Records in 2004. In 2006, they were signed with major record label Warner Bros. Records and in 2007 made their major record label debut “Devils & Angels.” In 2010, they released their follow-up album “The Masquerade.”
