J.J. Bennett and The Mercy: A Psychedelic Revival in the Modern Age
Meet J.J. Bennett, the 6'3" guitar prodigy from Monroe, Georgia, who's ready to set the rock world on fire. With striking red curly hair and a talent that belies his years.
J.J. first picked up a guitar at the age of 7 as therapy for finger dexterity issues. Now, he's a master guitarist whose passion for classic rock icons like Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix and blues legends Albert King and Johnny Winter drives his every riff.
In an era dominated by digital beats and synthesized sounds, J.J. Bennett emerges as a beacon for those yearning for the raw, unfiltered spirit of the '60s. With his band, The Mercy, this young guitar prodigy is not just playing music; he's channeling a bygone era through his fingertips. He's a modern-day hippie with an old soul born of the 1960s and 70s. Picture J.J. in bell-bottoms, strumming his guitar beside a classic 1970s Trans Am, exuding the confidence and charisma of a seasoned rock legend.
But J.J.'s not just about nostalgia; he's a forward-thinker, convincing his parents to let him trade college ...for a full pursuit of his musical dreams. This leap of faith is fueled by a vision steeped in the vibrant colors and free-spirited ethos of the '60s. His music, much like his persona, is a tapestry of psychedelic sounds, southern blues, and rock rebellion, inviting listeners to step into a time when music was a movement.
J.J. Bennett and The Mercy are not just a band; they're a revival. Their upcoming debut promises to be a sensory experience, a journey through time with a modern twist. As the lights dim and the first notes reverberate, audiences will find themselves transported, standing on the precipice of rock history with a young artist who's more than a musician; he's a messenger from the past, ready to lead us into the future.

“We are musicians, we want to play and that’s all we want to do is make good music.”
