Release Notes:
Billboard magazine has written about his strong mainstream-pop potential, and
his voice has been described as "hauntingly hopeful". With Tony Vincent's new
band, "mercer", he is poised to bring his unique voice, award-winning
songwriting and dramatic stage performance to the masses.
After starting an independent record label out of his college dorm room in
Nashville, Vincent used college radio to help land him his first recording
contract, recording two hit albums with EMI and three full years of touring.
Desiring a change of scenery that would challenge him musically, Vincent headed
for New York City. The plan was to gain more experience to further his fledgling
recording career. To his surprise, however, he found himself leaving the big
apple almost as fast as he arrived, hitting the road once againùthis time, with
the national touring company of the pulitzer prize-winning rock opera, RENT. It
was to become one of a string of musical theatre and film opportunities that
were to temporarily frustrate Vincent's dream of a main-stream recording career
over the next few years.
"I enjoyed the opportunity to perform live on stage 6 nights a week on Broadway
and London's West Endùwhether it was as "Roger Davis" (RENT), "Judas Iscariot"
(Jesus Christ Superstar) or "Galileo Figaro" (We Will Rock You)ùbecause it
allowed me to have my days free to spend time writing songs and focusing on my
own music," says Vincent. "That's where I found real creative freedom and could
remain grounded in the reasons I moved to New York in the first place. Being in
the public eye each night also gave me an opportunity to work with some of the
city's really strong writers and artists. Early in those new york days, I often
felt I wasn't making much headway in my recording career. But it soon became
clear what a blessing it was to be able to experience the city and be inspired
by its other talented writers."
Over the past year, Tony Vincent made a huge decision to forgo any theatre
opportunities and focus on his music once again without any distractions.
Hooking up with hit producer (and former college mate) Adam Anders, the two
began collaborating on new creative, ideas and music. Almost immediately the two
knew they had something special going on. As work progressed, and Anders became
more in demand to produce projects for major labels, Vincent forged additional
writing partnerships, including indie-songwriter Nate Campany. "I was working
with some of the best and hottest people in the business," says Vincent. "The
project really began to take shape, and for the first time as a songwriter I
felt like I was writing truly honest materialùstuff that I was proud of and that
I wanted to share. I was singing in a more comfortable place, and I think that
after listening to the end product, it will become really clear to the listener
as well."
And so it's time: Tony Vincent and his new band "mercer" are geared up to
fulfill what Billboard foreshadowed just a few years backùto hit the main-stream
market with a new kind of rock-influenced pop designed not only to "wow" in live
performances [and recordings], butùand this is at the core of Vincent's creative
intentions-give hope through his lyrics as well.
