MERCURY RISING

About Me

This band hit the Chicago music scene in 2005 as POINT08 and RISING. The group's mission -- to be the best rock cover band that the city and surrounding 'burbs have seen. Since then they've made a few changes and thought that a name change was in order as well, this wasn't the same band anymore, but rather a newer, better band. And so comes MERCURY RISING, a band that is gonna heat things up all over Chicagoland! The band's tastes are eclectic , combining a mix of rock, pop and blues (from the 60's through today) to produce an energetic live show that gets the crowd up and on their feet. While the group's primary focus is playing local clubs and festivals, we are also available for weddings, private parties and corporate events. For information on availability and pricing, please contact Jeff at 1-847-343-5093 or United Talent Coordinators at 1-630-620-1154. Check back often for updated schedule information and don't forget to check out our band website at www.mercuryrisingband.net. Thank you for your interest in our band. We look forward to seeing you at a show soon.
