Larry Mercey is a seminal figure in the Canadian Country music scene. He started out as a solo act, singing on radio in the late 1950s. His Mother documented every show he played in her own journal & that journal of hers was instrumental in inspiring Larry to write his autobiography "Have Mercey My first 60 years making music". In this episode, we discuss how he started out & ultimately brought his two brothers into the act, becoming The Mercey Brothers. The band of brothers performed together for 30 years & won multiple Juno awards, have been inducted into the Canadian Country Music HOF....among other prestigious accolades!
The Mercey Brothers were a well oiled machine when it came to managing the business side of the music business & enjoyed a very successful career together. When the three brothers called it quits, Larry continued soldiering on, once again as a solo act & has recently formed a new trio of friends who've been busy making even more musical magic. His new book is available via his E Mail larrymercey40@gmail.com
