Tift Merritt is a singer/songwriter whose talent and voice are a natural wonder to see and hear performed live. Luckily for our eyes and ears we had Tift, along with her pedal-steel-playing partner, Eric Heywood, perform a quick set in-front of Patrick Dougherty’s intricately detailed stickwork sculpture at the North Carolina Museum of Art.
This is our second session filmed and recorded at the Museum this summer, and can also be considered a warm-up for Tift’s NCMA Summer Concert series performance on August 19th. Tift Merritt and Friends will feature MC Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger, Eric Slick of Dr. Dog, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and The Suitcase Junket as well as food trucks, a Commissary pop up featuring local retailers and Butch Anthony’s Traveling Museum of Wonder.
When Tift isn’t busy writing, performing, entertaining her sweet toddler Jean, or even creating a line of new vintage guitar straps, she is busy on the road promoting her latest album, Stitch of The World.
