W.C. Mericle

W.C. Mericle is a Chicago-based singer/songwriter who quietly writes quirky songs that feel like tiny stories — a little sad, a little funny, and just tender enough to sneak up on you. His lyrics wander through the surreal and the sincere, finding unexpected emotion in offbeat places. Not quite folk. Not quite pop. A well-hidden hidden gem — and yes, the listener stats confirm it.

John Scalzi (yes, sci-fi fans, that John Scalzi), reviewing for IndieCrit, writes:

"Deeply weird observations on life… beamed across whatever strange frequency Mericle is receiving... incongruously touching… nutritionally satisfying to the soul… like finding a sparkly gem in, well, a bin full of snouts."

(I think that’s meant as a compliment, right?)
