Get ready for a powerhouse night of songwriting, soul, and serious musicianship.

With a voice that echoes Phil Collins and a rhythm that nods to Johnny Cash, Justin Merle brings two decades of original songwriting to the stage. Blending folk, country, pop, and contemporary influences, this Portland-based artist delivers songs that feel both timeless and fresh. After years of performing across New England, Justin continues to write, evolve, and push his passion for music to new heights.

Joining him is Boston-based indie folk artist Dayes (Pat Morelli). Inspired by Dispatch, Mt. Joy, Caamp, The Lumineers, and Chadwick Stokes, Dayes creates nostalgic, heart-forward songs that bring people together. Since launching the project in 2022, he’s played beloved venues like Club Passim, Rockwood Music Hall, and more building community wherever he performs.

Rounding out the evening is Brendan Cleary, a lifelong musician steeped in American Roots tradition. From years performing on Nashville’s legendary Broadway strip to stages across New England, Brendan delivers a dynamic blend of Classic Rock, Country, Blues, Folk, and Jazz. A finalist in the 2024 NH Music Collective Singer/Songwriter Competition and frequent collaborator with Tom Rush, Brendan’s shows are intimate, soulful, and deeply engaging.

Three distinct voices. One unforgettable night.
Come early, grab a seat, and settle in as this one’s going to hit you right in the heart.
