The next live music event in The Junction's intimate seated venue, The Shed, is the acclaimed singer-songwriter-instrumentalist Merz, on Friday 3rd February. The gifted and passionate performer ploughs a rich seam of delicate instrumentation that touches on English folk, electronica and the fringes of dance.
His new album 'Loveheart' features an astonishing range of delicate instrumentation and is the work of an inimitable and extraordinary songwriter with a rare musical talent. His new single 'Postcard From a Dark Star' is single of the week in The Guardian and has been championed by Merz's biggest fan, Coldplay's Chris Martin.Rich in distinctive instrumentation (Wurlitzer piano, ukelele, mandolin, electronic accordian, harpsichord, choirs and Native American bass drum as well as drum machines, synths and numerous electric and acoustic guitars), Merz's work draws from experiences of intense emotions with a deft and tender touch. Displaying a breathtaking way with melody, Merz's music is warm, infused with rising hope, as even at bleak times there are moments of pure joy.
