Craig Mercer’s project The Will Be Gones represents a coming of age for the singer/ songwriter – represented in songs of heartache, happiness, friendship, and a deep love of the east coast. Roots rock set to a backdrop of Americana and alt-country, the upcoming EP Never Not Letting Go tells the story of an artist at a turning point in both life and in music – and offers a stark contrast from his work to date as the frontman for jam/rock acts The Jimmy Swift Band and Scientists of Sound.
Well friends - the Will Be Gones came and went, but like many things that come and go they come back around again. And that is just what has happened. We'll be releasing some music over the next while starting with our debut EP Never Not Letting Go which comes out everywhere on June 23rd. We are doing a show at the Carleton in Halifax to mark the occasion, and are working on the completion of our full-length album over the next few months.
Glad to come back around,
The Will Be Gones
