Here’s our concert lineup for Strawberry Festival 2026! This lineup features fan favorites like UBR, Black Widow, and Rockabilly Steve & Br3. New to Merritt’s stage is Tsavo Highway and Letter to Elise.

One of the bands we have performing at Strawberry Festival was on NBC’s The Voice! Letter to Elise is a band from our very own Buffalo, NY! They deliver Rust Belt Rock ’n’ Roll that lives between heartbreak and hope. The band blends 80s-inspired alt-pop shimmer with raw, modern energy, driving guitars, soaring synths, and lyrics that hit where nostalgia meets neon.
