Tift Merritt, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig opens

Tift Merritt returns to Club Passim on April 2 in support of her new album, Stitch of the World. This is Merritt’s sixth studio album and was written on a friend’s farm in Marfa Texas, at Merritt’s California cabin and in New York City in the wake of several major changes in her life. She workshopped the songs on Stitch of the World with long-time friend Sam Beam of Iron & Wine after bumping in to him in an airport.
Raised in North Carolina, Tift Merritt has released five full-length albums and two live records, including a recent reissue of her debut album Bramble Rose earlier this year.
NPR’s Heavy Rotation says “Stitch of the World contains some her best writing, and “Dusty Old Man” is the place to start.”
Rolling Stone Country says “With an instrumental bed composed of unpolished acoustic guitars, slinky pedal steel and a solid-yet-relaxed rhythm section, Stitch of the World showcases Merritt’s ability to let her songs breathe and unfold in a manner that allows her unassuming vocals to shine.”
Merritt has performed with the NY Philharmonic and toured with artists as varied as Iron & Wine, Jason Isbell, Elvis Costello, and Gregg Allman. Her 2004 release Tambourine was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Album as well as three Americana Music Awards. In addition to recent recording and touring with Andrew Bird’s Hands of Glory, MC Taylor’s Hiss Golden Messenger and Simone Dinnerstein, Don Henley covered Merritt's song "Bramble Rose" to open up his first solo album in fifteen years, Cass County.
