One of Raleigh's most beloved expatriates, Tift Merritt, will return to the Raleigh's North Carolina Museum of Art as a part of their summer concert series supporting her latest album, Traveling Alone.

Merritt will play the museum's outdoor stage on Saturday, August 17. Tickets are on sale now via Etix for $22 (general admission) or $30 (reserved seats). Students ages 7-18 are just $11 and kids 6 and under are free.

Merritt last played the museum in 2010 shortly after the release of her last album See You on the Moon. Check out a review and photos from that show HERE.

Merritt also just released an album with classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein titled Night. Check out the music video for "Only in Songs / Night and Dreams" from the album below.
