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.

We have now built a solid local following and plan to release our first of 2 singles,
Spring 2024. We look forward to making this world a better place through art and
music. This is the time to feel the shine.
