Meridian until 5pm
Meridian is the acoustic duo of Karen Dietrich and Criss Henry. For the past 15 years we’ve been playing in and around the tri-state area. From wineries, to bars and private parties, we’ve played pretty much everywhere. We’ve even been known to turn up on a radio show now and then. This past year Meridian has been trying to add to their song list, adding new songs by some newer artists, as well as older, classic rock. Our interests are always growing and expanding, from newer artists like Brandi Carlisle and Rodrigo y Gabriela to Gaelic Storm.
We describe our acoustic sound as Folk-n- Roll.
