Tift Merritt is off the road. Raleigh’s Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter-essayist-mother has followed the white lines from gig to gig since her debut CD, “Bramble Rose,” was released in 2002. Her travels have led her to Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, New York, Paris and Los Angeles, where her sophomore release, “Tambourine,” was celebrated in 2005 with a Grammy nomination.
