"He (Shawn Mercer) works the territory between Folk and Accoustic Blues with wonderful lyrics and melodies. When I first heard Me My Mo with Siiri Soucy's distant harmony the song permanently imprinted on my memory. Mr. Mercer is a local Maine artist and I really love his unique blues style." -Michael Lane, CD Baby post

"We rocked out to your record on the way back from Jersey... Great stuff

dude! Reminds me of all of the rootsy elements that I love about Neil Young,

JJ Cale, etc.. Very well done."

-Jason Spooner, The Jason Spooner Trio

"Their unique blend of rock, funk and jazz set the tone for the night. Playing all original songs, many audience members enjoyed being able to relate to the tunes." -Pat Shaw, The Maine Edge
