The community center, high school auditorium, church fellowship halls, and neighborhood restaurants and bars host most performances. Kansas City musicians often book weekend acoustic or cover sets here.

Merriam's live music comes mainly from local and regional artists, with Kansas City musicians frequently crossing the state line.
