Mel Bryant & the Mercy Makers make punk rock music for adult theatre kids, inspired by pop punk, classic rock, modern sad girls and alt country. Raised on the east coast but based in east Nashville, this fully independent and DIY band records all their music in their backyard barn-turned studio, infusing elements of grunge and country songwriting into their viscerally honest, diary entry songs about things that matter to them; love, justice, community, introspection and radical acceptance.
