Natalie Merchant

with Erik Della Penna

Singer/songwriter Natalie Merchant brings her Autumn Acoustic Tour to The Barns for an intimate, one night only performance. The former lead vocalist and lyricist of 10,000 Maniacs (“These Are The Days,” “Like the Weather”) found solo success with her breakthrough albums Tigerlily (1995) and Ophelia (1998). After a nine-year hiatus from releasing new music, she returned with Keep Your Courage (2023), that Mojo praised as “her most beautiful [material] in decades.” Through it all, she’s best described as “an artist who has never compromised, but instead evolved with integrity, thought, and meaning” (Daily Telegraph).

Merchant is accompanied by her principal guitarist Erik Della Penna, a Tony-nominated composer and lyricist (Dead Outlaw) with credits on over 60 rock, pop, and Americana albums.
