Liam Merriman

Liam Merriman the Waterford based folk performer / songwriter formally signed to Polygram Records recently recorded his second album in Nashville Tennessee. Produced by Thomm Jutz, guitarist (Nanci Griffith Band/Mary Gauthier), it blends his contempoary Irish folk style with with top level Nashville musicianship. The result fits neatly into the tradition of classic folk/pop artists of the calibre of Christy Moore, Gordon Lightfoot, Richard Thompson and Paul Simon. A promo single, Drum In The Distance, from the album was released to radio in January 2008. Liam presents a radio show called "The Secret Chord" on WLRFM, broadcasting to Waterford City and County, and around the world via the internet at www.wlrfm.com - Liam's new album "Words In Music" was released in May 2008 and has already picked up airplay and positive comment on RTE Radio 1, Lyric FM, Beat FM, WLRFM and many local radio stations around Ireland. Ireland's leading music magazine "Hot Press" gave it a terrific 4 star review. Not bad, eh?
