Backstory:
Nutritious Housing was born out of the fertile soil of Portland, Oregon in the mid-2000s, where the independent music scene was bustling with vibrant creativity and eco-friendly endeavors. The core members, Madeleine “Maddie” Turner (lead vocals and guitar), Thomas “Thom” Greene (bass), and Sam “Sunny” Reilly (drums), were all involved in their city’s initiative towards sustainable living. It wasn’t long before their shared passion for music and the environment brought them together.
While volunteering at a local urban farming project, Maddie, Thom, and Sunny found themselves bonding over their shared love of folk music and indie rock. They began jamming together during their breaks, using repurposed instruments. The rich, unique sound they produced resonated with their friends and volunteers, which encouraged them to take their music beyond the farm. Hence, Nutritious Housing was born, a band dedicated to creating soulful and sustainable music that everyone can grove to.

Greenhouse Melody
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em G C
“Sprouting seeds under the moon, we’re singing a tune,
D Em
Glowing in the heart of the city’s cocoon.
Em G C
Strums of guitar mixing with the wind, whispering stories of where we’ve been,
D Em
Riding the rhythm of the earth’s spin.”
(Chorus)
Em G C
“Greenhouse Melody, echo through the city,
D Em
Bring alive the rhythm, under moon so pretty.
Em G C
Songs of growth, in our heart housing,
D Em
We’re Nutritious Housing, music sprouting.”
(Verse 2)
Em G C
“Harvesting rhythms from the city’s sound, melodies from underground,
D Em
Lost in the music, we’ve truly found.
Em G C
Planting notes in the heart of the beat, feel the rhythm under your feet,
D Em
With every strum, the cycle’s complete.”
(Chorus)
Em G C
“Greenhouse Melody, echo through the city,
D Em
Bring alive the rhythm, under moon so pretty.
Em G C
Songs of growth, in our heart housing,
D Em
We’re Nutritious Housing, music sprouting.”
