"Meryl Romer embodies the resonant renaissance of the romantic singers of the 40's. Her sound has the voluptuous shape of Sarah Vaughan, the ease and elegance of Ella Fitzgerald and a heart-shuddering vibrato reminiscent of Judy Garland. She sings with a tempered tenderness of heart blown through the essence of maturity. When she wraps her velvet voice around the lyrical standards of jazz, there is an innuendo of innocence that yields a most sophisticated lady."
– Vocalist and Producer, Casey Collins
"So Sure" picked as #1 jazz album for 2009 on JazzTimes.com by reviewer, Ms. Susan Frances

It's been a long time since I've heard such a luscious and soulful performance. Meryl took the house by storm! ~ Joe Franklin, Bloomberg Radio
The last six months have brought lots of new tunes to my repertoire. It's been great trying them out at Cuvee Wine Bar in Boulder; the Golden Hotel; and numerous house concerts. I've had the pleasure of hosting Bill Kopper, Bijoux, and Victor Mestas for an outdoor concert under the stars of stunning Latin tunes and jazz set that I opened with them. Later in the year I was honored to host Brad Upton's Quartet which included Brad, Eric Gunnison, Kirwan Brown and Tony Black....lucky me doing a set with these guys!
I am currently getting ready for a show of Nina Simone music at Dazzle on February 1st with Erik Deutsh, Bill Kopper, Tony Mason and Jeff Hill.
I will also be hosting a CD Release evening for Erik Deutsch's new CD, entitled, Demonio Teclado.
Looking forward to a May 5th engagement at the Metropolitan Room in NYC for my fifth New York engagement...May's show is entitled..."Dreaming Out Loud".
CD's are available on the music page through CD Baby, I-tunes and Amazon....thanks for visiting. EPK is available at www.sonicbids.com/MerylRomer
