Above and Beyond!

There's an "above and beyond" quality to Merrill's piano performances! I've had her play so often she's my go-to because she's so capable and versatile — elegant classical piano, singalong standards, touching ceremonial music, harmonizing ambience—even incredible original songs! She's a seasoned professional, her entire body of work is amazing, her grace at the keyboard is seamless, she's intuitive and responsive, and has a refreshing presence. Merrill Collins is a reliable professional with well-developed talents and a little something extra—which often comes in the form of her top-notch musical collaborators.
