Sorcha & The Clearing

Sorcha Cribben-Merrill is a singer-songwriter from Maine with a 'sultry, jazzy' voice of unexpected power and depth of presence. Her stirring songs are steeped in indie folk, blues, jazz, and soul.

From haunting ballads to charming vignettes to let-your-hair-down grooves, her songs unveil “a suite of musical styles that shows a wide-ranging songwriting ability. . . witty verses with smart rhymes.” (Portland Phoenix)

Wielding acoustic and electric guitars, ukulele and clawhammer banjo, she tours throughout the Northeast and beyond. Downeast Magazine offers: “It’s refreshing to hear a record devoted to her tranquil side – it only underscores the crazy range of one of Maine’s most versatile troubadours. And there’s nothing quiet about that.”
