A touch of Appalachia at the Merryall Center

Sherman-based Rob Brereton, a pioneer of contemporary Mountain Dulcimer playing and National Flatpicking Champion has captivated audiences with his Appalachian folk music nationally and internationally will be performing at Merryall Center in New Milford on July 29.  His work is featured on the recording “Someone to Watch Over Me” currently available on iTunes and CD Baby. 

Tap your feet, hum along to Brereton”™s favorite generational classics from artists like John Denver, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkel and many more favorites showcasing Brereton”™s dulcimer skills along with his guitar playing and vocals. Additionally, Rob will be joined on stage by many of his talented musician friends. 

 “This concert is really a gift to myself…what more could I wish for than spending time with friends, neighbors and fellow musicians in a place that I love, playing all the tunes I love. Looking back at my life, I am counting it in tunes, not years,” said Brereton.

When not mesmerizing audiences on stage, Brereton does it in classrooms in New Haven and directs choirs in both Sherman and New Fairfield. 

The Merryall Center is a nonprofit arthouse and community center located at 8 Chapel Hill Road. For more information about the organization, including upcoming events, memberships, discounts, pricing and tickets for the Brereton performance, visit the center”™s website at merryallcenter.org.
