http://mercyband.free.frHave you performed in front of an audience?We live in the south of france where we are an almost unknown quantity but we play live all over Europe and we love doing it, we have a very close relationship with the public.Special moments? Yeah, those hot summer nights playin' under the trees in some village and getting drowned out by the crickets going through our PA!
Your musical influences
From BB King to Tom Waits going through everything else in between.What equipment do you use?
A lot.Anything else?
We try to put a little fun and a max of energy into the show, communicate as much as reasonable with the public, just get up there and do the best we know how i guess.

Great great French Blues: congratulations.
Avec une préférence toute particulière pour "Little Axe" ou l'essentiel du blues est contenu du bout des doigts sur les frets.
Bravo encore et peut juste une petite question de guitariste: quel matos emploies tu sur ce titre?
Un éternel guitariste du blues amateur et congénitalement débutant faute de band et de temps.
Hi,
your new song"My little axe" is very cool. Superb blues guitar and vox. Congratulations.
Greetings from ORPLID
