mer marcum
Waco, Texas-born, now Brooklyn-based alt-folk indie artist and producer Meredith (mer) Marcum has emerged into the New York City scene. Trading her small-town roots for Brooklyn’s bustling music scene, mer set out to carve her niche and make authentic art in many forms, which comes through in her singular and introspective music characterized by evocative, lyrical intimacy underscored by fresh production.
mer marcum is currently gearing up to release her debut EP, You Never Did Anything Wrong, on May 1, which kicked off with the single, “Body (ft. Jia*),” earlier this year, and amassed over 250k streams in the first month. Last year, she supported Hollis Howard, Hudson Freeman, and Deloyd Elze. Most recently, she opened for Devon Again’s sold-out NYC show and will be opening for Darryl Rahn in March.
After releasing her buzz-building EP in 2023 under a previous, now defunct, project, garnering the attention of Bob Boilen, who included the project in NPR’s All Songs Considered favorites list, she has since received acclaim from Ones to Watch, Wonderland, Atwood Magazine, Earmilk, Luna Collective, and Line of Best Fit, as well as BBC Radio 6, Spotify’s New Music Friday, Juniper, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Indie, Fresh Finds Folk, and many more.
