Riverfest Elora 2019: Day 2: Alice Merton - Concert Photos

Alice Merton’s bio talks of her family’s travels and her locale is usually tied to Germany. What we found out during her Riverfest Elora main stage performance is that she has a strong attachment to Canada. Even though she said she moved 13 times in her life, she spent several years of her youth living in Oakville, and this set turned into quite an emotional homecoming of sorts. It was special to witness.

As for the music, Alice Merton and her band perform polished and energetic pop tunes. While I think this performance was more special than most due to the Canadian connection she spoke of often, I’d definitely recommend her music and her live show. And hearing about her life and travels, it’s no wonder her breakthrough song was “No Roots”.
