Worcester Telegram and Gazette, 2/25/2010 “Ten Things To Do This Week”
American music
Merrick Section is one of those bands that doesn’t fuse disparate musical genres together so much as it finds leisurely paths between different musical points. The breezy hoe-down Americana of “Another Invitation” gives way easily to the ’70s-esque rock sound of “Promises” or the contemporary country sound of “Cross on the Highway.” But the leaps seem effortless, like they all come from the same band, and give Merrick Section a truly enormous-seeming range. Merrick Section performs with the Glenn Steward Band, the Great Whiskey Rebellion and Dave Magario at 8 p.m. Friday at the Lucky Dog Music Hall, 89 Green St., Worcester. (Victor D. Infante)
