The McMercy Family Band provide a fresh take on gospel music that is delightfully off-kilter.
Based in Austin and founded by the “Reverend” Ted Hadji, the septet is comprised of Brother Dan, Brother Ryan, Brother Adam, Sisters Kristen and Lindsey, Cousin Rubin, and Uncle Ted, altogether creating a swell of strings and vocals, wading somewhere between uplifting and sinister. The band released their debut album Hallelujah Anyhow in the summer of 2014, which is a stripped down collection of songs brimming with rich vocal harmonies, lo-fi folk, and an intangible energy.
You can catch their live show at the Continental on February 14th or stream their music live right here on KUTX.
