Music at the MERA Sunday Schoolhouse Concerts tends to be centred around the folk, roots, alt-country genres but celtic, bluegrass, pop/folk, Jazz/funk and Gypsie/Klezmer eclectic acts have made appearances as well. The common element with all the performances is excellent musicianship combined with the ability to communicate the joy of live music in an intimate setting.
Perhaps the best way to describe what to expect is to list some of the musicians who have performed within the last several years:
