Eric and Molly Sappington first formed the duo Mercury 27 years ago after moving from the Midwest to the Oregon Coast. Between 1999 and 2008, they released an EP and two full length records.  

Eric continued songwriting and performing around the Northwest, while Molly focused on raising their two sons. 

Flash forward to September 2022, when Ebon Bergeron approached Eric and asked if he’d want to add some guitar tracks to his drums. The result was a fast-moving expression of emotion and creativity.  Both Eric and Ebon had been waiting for this moment, and it happened at just the right time.  

Enter Steve Doss, a recent transplant from California.  Steve joined on standup bass, then Molly returned with backing vocals and percussion.   MERCURY COAST was formed.

Smihilistic vibrations from your mind's private island.
