Bridging The Gap # 35: Conrad Merced

Conrad Merced is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer based out of Chicago, Illinois. Being raised in a musical family, he started playing in music groups at the age of 13. His music has featured in films, podcasts and in various music compilations. Conrad’s songs have been described as ‘Nick Drake meets Roxy Music’ and ‘Elliott Smith meets Radiohead’. The themes of his most recent music reflect on the loss and death of a loved one, aging, overcoming writer’s block, breaking up, falling in love, and growing up in the 1990’s to immigrant parents. ••• https://www.conradmercedmusic.com/about https://chicagoacoustic.net/artists/conrad-merced https://music.apple.com/us/artist/conrad-merced/1373576913 ••• K.
