Chris Merritt
Homebase: Provo, UT
Brian Wilson would be proud - the innocent lyrics and well-constructed harmonies will leave you breathless. "Virginia" best supports my claim. Merritt's piano-driven offerings delivers pop rock color to the 88 keys and a pile of good stories. His vocals are warm and honest - making each tune ready for listener accompaniment. Additional instrumentation - mostly drums and bass - dovetail the music in creating a more eccentric flow in song and story.
His double-duty obligation to the keys and vocals leave neither feeling unloved.
"Dance Karate" is whole different animal. The verse is straightforward, but once the chorus hits - look out. It jams with 70's Bee Gee's style (minus the falsetto) with excitement and groove. This song completely caught me off guard. The vocal mutations, organ and synth jams with Atari "punch" samples really make this a tune for dancing.
