Merrilee’s many talents continue to earn great praise and high awards. But for those who have been blessed by her talents, the highest place she could ever hold is that very place she has held for so long -- a place in our hearts Merrilee Rush, But for the devoted legions that had been flocking to see Merrilee since 1962, her success was anything but overnight.

As countless groups and artists came and went, Merrilee endured. The literal millions who have seen Merrilee perform live stand witness to her stellar record of achievement. A number one single in seven countries. Four chart records. Decades of sold out shows. Out of an entire generation of great Pacific Northwest acts, she was the only one to receive her industry’s highest honor: a Grammy nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year
