SOME RESPONSES:
"The music of MERCURIUS appeals to every demographic!" SeaFair Booking Agent.
"There's a lot of honesty, transparency, and truth in your songs. I'm very impressed with your writing. The musicianship is also top notch - of course." Jim Ware, friend, and author of Finding God in The Lord of the Rings.
"I've been coming to this club regularly for the past ten years, and this is the first band CD I've ever wanted to buy." Patron at the Comet Tavern in Seattle, WA.
"Best band I've heard in the 3 years I've worked here!" Bar tender at every club we ever played.
And here is a fan vid of the Rain Song by Led Zeppelin, one of the few covers MERCURIUS plays.
No, I'm into Metal, but I almost never play it anymore. There is one track on my profile that is a Metal idea, but I'm much more into instrumental, ambient type guitar stuff. Your music is killer! Good work!!
