Jack Mercer & The Whisky Bandits:
Working on fishing and tugboats since his teens and penning songs during down time with callused hands, Mercer is part of a new wave of musician. It's a wave that started back before over-produced digital distortion, that goes back to a time where steel strings and a voice where enough to get you on the radio. If he's not becoming known for his already vast catalog of songs, word-of-mouth is definitely spreading about his command of a stage. After taking the Whiskey Bandits on a tour around Western Canada this summer, Mercer returned home to Vancouver to a warm welcome that included a grand prize win at the 2011 Summer Sessions hosted by the Roxy Vancouver and 99.3 the Fox.
