Sorcha Cribben-Merrill, the Maine-based songwriter, will bring her trio to The Underground Lounge, at 17 Court Street in Belfast, Saturday, Jan. 10, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with music beginning at 7 p.m. 

"Raised on the ocean in rural Maine, Sorcha Cribben-Merrill writes stirring indie-folk songs featuring powerful jazz vocals," said the Underground Lounge.

She has built a career performing original music and covers in settings ranging from folk festivals and rock clubs to intimate listening rooms, and has opened for artists such as Grammy-nominated mandolinist Matt Flinner and folk icon Tom Rush. 

Cribben-Merrill will be joined on stage by Chris Robley and Jeff Christmas. 

"From evocative originals to re-imagined covers spanning the 1920s to the 2020s, these three celebrated Maine songwriters and multi-instrumentalists deliver rich vocal harmonies, fresh arrangements, and bluesy grooves — fueled by guitar, upright bass, percussion, and a touch of vintage charm.," said the Underground.
