Tim Merkel - Spirit Hound Lyons

Settle in for a warm, intimate evening of acoustic folk from a seasoned songwriter performing since the 1970s.

Classically trained in Chicago before being drawn to the city’s storied Old Town folk scene, Tim Merkel’s sound is rooted in the tradition of Dylan, Lightfoot, Prine, and Joni Mitchell — thoughtful lyrics, melodic guitar, and songs that unfold at their own easy pace.

Now inspired by Colorado’s mountain landscape, he brings a reflective, story-driven style that pairs perfectly with a well-crafted cocktail and a listening-room atmosphere. Join us for a relaxed night of timeless songs and easy conversation.
