Mercy Me
With a string of hits on both the Christian and mainstream charts, Mercy Me defies categorization. The Grammy Award nominated and seven-time Dove Award winning band couples a unique sound with a sound passion.
Originally formed in 1994, today the Texas sextet is known for its moving worship tunes and powerful praise lyrics. Each man in the band — Barry Graul (guitar), Robby Shaffer (drums), Mike Scheuchzer (guitar), Nathan Cochran (bass), Jim Bryson (keys) and Bart Millard (vocals) — is committed on a personal level to a life long callingto lead others in praise and worship. This motivation has guided them through the creation of six independent projects and six albums.
Since their 2001 debut,
Almost There, was certified double platinum –thanks to the popularity of the poignant anthem, “I Can Only Imagine” – Mercy Me has released a string of gold-certified hits including two studio albums:
Spoken For (2002) and
Undone (2003), plus the DVD
Mercy Me Live (2004). Beyond record sales, Mercy Me has garnered critical acclaim with awards from the Gospel Music Association and the American Music Awards. Meanwhile, the group's inspiring and theatric live shows continue to draw sell-out crowds across the country.
