June 12, 2026I highly recommend Merit Koch. She performed for my son’s high school graduation/18th birthday party and she was amazing! She is an exceptionally talented guitarist who held everyone’s attention the entire time she was playing. Her energy was contagious and she played all genres of great music! She performed for guests of all ages and even let folks sing with her. So much fun!
Her warm presence and genuine enthusiasm created an unforgettable atmosphere and a celebration that won’t ever be forgotten! She is a true professional who exceeded our expectations.
We are booking her again soon! I highly recommended Merit Koch without hesitation for any special occasion.

Highly interactive music that gets the party engaged and active. From singalong-ready song choice to egg shakers for the kids (of all ages), Merit isn't just a background musician — she is your entertainment for your event. While jazzy tunes for cocktail hours can be arranged, Merit best shines when she's leading songs, taking requests, and interacting with audiences for the ultimate, unforgettable show experience.
