As we've mentioned previously, Raleigh expatriate Tift Merritt has a new album on October 2 titled Traveling Alone. She's released two videos of her performing stripped down versions of a few new songs.

Check out Merritt sitting in a window performing a solo version of "To Myself" and then sitting on a porch with Jay Brown performing "Feeling of Beauty" below. The latter is particularly stunning.

Merritt will perform a sold out free show at Carrboro Town Commons tonight, September 21, with Megafaun and Mandolin Orange. Megafaun tweeted on Thursday that this show and their opening set later that night opening for The Old Ceremony at the Cat's Cradle will be "our last proper shows for a LONG ASS TIME."
