Saturday night I spent at the Carolina Theatre in Durham to see Tift Merritt in concert. I went with my friend Julie, who had never heard of Tift before. The show was really good, she sang songs from her recently released album "Another Country" (of which most was actually written in another country) as well as some older songs. She has such a wonderfully unique voice, and really gets into performing as she jams on her guitar or rocks away on her keyboard.
Tift got her start in the triangle area, and it was clear that she had a lot of old friends/family and fans in the theatre - they let her know it with several standing ovations and loud on-going cheers.
She was also interviewed on NPR's Talk of the Nation this past Thursday.
They were filming some hd video of the show, and I came across this post mentioning an upcoming documentary about Tift Merritt and her band.
Sara Watkins (of Nickel Creek) opened the show. Wow. She's good.
