Bio

Playing guitar since the early age of six, Merzi writes his own music with lyrics and composition inspired by life experiences. Car trips to school with dad and the radio blaring introduced Andrew to some of his enduring musical influences: John Hiatt, Steve Earl, Van Morrison, Los Lobos, Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder, Greg Brown and Little Feat.

Merzi’s songs draw the listener in with the emotion of Andrew’s deep friendships, strong family, past loves and his overall life experiences.

Song writing is something that to me is kind of mysterious. It usually starts with a guitar rhythm first and the lyrics come after, but it is a feeling I get that lets me know I can write. I don’t premeditate songs, they just come out of me and I don’t always know how.

His gravelly and emotional sound sets Andrew apart from today’s pop artists and when watching his performance style, it is clear that his music comes from deep within.

Merzi tours New England playing taverns and small venues as he continues to write and create new work.
