The focus of this series is to feature diverse national touring artists who may not typically come into the Bucks/Mercer County area; cultivating and increasing the profile of the arts and entertainment community in Trenton. Where possible, Merge Talent seeks to blend distinct talents from disparate musical genres into interesting and compelling packages and co-bills. This philosophy also will be applied when selecting supporting acts; finding and bringing together both international and local/regional talent from different genres and backgrounds.
The set-up for these shows will vary – some will be General Admission (the capacity of the club being 700) and some will feature a more intimate dinner style seating (with a more intimate capacity of approximately 200.) Tickets are available for all shows online at MergeTalent.com and physically at KatManDu starting in early September.
Among the initial shows scheduled are:
