SPECIAL hometown early album release party!!!LISTEN & GET the song: Click the link in bio @troymercymusic
“Traveling Light” is the first single from @troymercymusic debut record with @gitcharecords , "Let The Night Begin”, produced by @tcarmandrums (of @parlorgreens )
You can also head over to @thefirenote for the premiere of the wicked awesome music video directed by @sunny.skye.productions and @cassie_izzy_photography
"Traveling Light” is a heroic dose of the ecstatic feeling of freedom found in new beginnings. Troy’s throbbing, fuzzed-out electric guitar riffs fly fast and recklessly around his thrilling vocalizing throughout this jolt of his own Brave New Blues. Mr. Mercy’s chosen delivery system here is the Power Duo format he favors live these days. @harrisonfotidrums on drums drives the vehicle like Dean Moriarty on little white pills and Thunderbird wine. “Electric guitar, a singer with records by Ray Charles and Iggy Pop, some feral creature on the drums, and general attitude of ‘Oh, yeah are you gonna stop me?’ is just about all you need to conjure up that ethereal goddess we call Rock & Roll.”, proclaims Troy Mercy, Booker T’s former guitarist. Let go of those things you no longer need. Run and howl at the moon in the summer midnight...
This is Brave New Blues For A Mean Old World
"Let The Night Begin,” Troy Mercy's upcoming album will be released on vinyl via Gitcha Records on May 29, 2026!

Quote: "The power-duo format has brought me to life. I kinda need a lot to do musically or I just end up chewing on furniture, you know?
Stripping things down to just voice, guitar, drums, gives me the most immediate emotional connection between my singing and guitar playing. There are no presets. I can steer the whole thing right off the edge of the world if I want to. Or play something pretty too."
