Rock and Roll to the core; no muss, no fuss, music for musics sake. The Mermaid Purse synchronizes cool grooves and big rock guitars alongside soaring vocal melodies. Their powerfully emotional songs will hold you with their contagious vibe and inspired vision of rock and roll music for the right now. Due to time constraints with other projects, the lineup of The Mermaid Purse fluctuated for several months solidifying with the current line-up of Eric Shutt (Doosu) on vocals and guitar, Jim Keith (Soviet Space, Horses) on bass guitar and backing vocals, Nick Cardinale (Maroon) playing drums, and Gabe Cardinale (Maroon, Kingdom of Snakes) on guitar. Since its inception, The Purse has toured extensively throughout the south and midwest, expanding its fan base and gaining air play on commercial and college radio across the nation. The Mermaid Purse continues to write, record and evolve with their own vision of music.
