INTRO: 

Tift Merritt  was shy about singing in public until she met 
drummer Zeke Hutchins. He thought she sounded like a 
young Emmylou Harris, and told her flat out they HAD to 
start a band. 

When a major label eventually offered Merritt a 
recording contract, she resisted the impulse to use studio pros. 
Instead, she stuck with the guys in her North Carolina-based 
band. Together, they make music  that blends a love of country 
laments with the swagger of  Bonnie Raitt.

This is how Tift Merritt describes her music ... in her 
own words ...
