Welcome to the world of "the MERRg" This Adelaide band has quickly established itself as class act.the MERRg’s on stage shows very quickly the versatility of the band.Members often change instruments to suit the needs of their songs.Few comments from the loyal SA fans have touted them as the next big thing in Australian Indigenous music.The versatilty of the band has seen them play acoustic sets in intimate pubs to full blown on stage sound of Corroboree 2005.Most members of the MERRg hail from or have family connection to the West Coast town of Ceduna excepting Eddie who hails from the Torres Strait group of islands.
