From the Road

Trey Merrill is a New Orleans-rooted Americana songwriter currently based in Austin Texas. His songs are shaped by the spirit of New Orleans, the Gulf Coast, the long miles of the American road and a lifetime spent behind the curtain of the music business.

After decades working in concert production and touring with artist across the country, Merrill eventually traded riding the bus for driving one. These days he splits his time betweeen the stage, the highway and the quiet hours where songs get written.

From freight trains and barrooms to sailboats and backroads, his music follows the people, ghosts and stories that live somewhere between leaving home and finding your way back.

A restless young man with nothing to lose rides freight trains across America, convinced his life is already half over. Decades later he finds himself on water instead of rails, learning to sail, moving his body and quieting his mind. The same wind that once pushed him down the tracks now fills his sails. It’s no longer a story about running. It’s about a man who finally got off the couch and decided to sail toward whatever life he has left.
