Mercy Lounge

Comment on Facebook

The Mercy Lounge resides in Nashville's Historic Cannery building. The building housed a country music theatre in the late 70's and evolved into one of Nashville's primary music venues in the 80's and early 90's. Jimmy Cliff, Janes Addiction, Iggy Pop, Lenny Kravitz, Midnight Oil, Greg Allman, Robin Trower among other touring acts of the time played the Cannery. The Mercy Lounge is on the second level of the massive structure with a standing room capacity of 500, a back bar featuring pool tables and classic pinball machines. It also features a luxury hospitality suite much like a Chicago or New York warehouse district loft complete with kitchen and bathrooms.

      06/09/12	Langhorne Slim Mercy Lounge Langhorne Slim Presented by Mercy Lounge at Mercy Lounge June 9, 2012 There is nothing like the challenges and camaraderie of the road to inspire a songwriter who thrives upon the emotional energy and exhilaration only travel can deliver.

      07/18/12	The Gaslight Anthem with Dave Hause Mercy Lounge The Gaslight Anthem with Dave Hause Presented by Mercy Lounge at Mercy Lounge July 18, 2012 Handwritten from The Gaslight Anthem is personal, deep, and intense. There are moments that remind me of The '59 Sound ("Howl") and songs that take what I saw in "Red Night" to a level that leaves me speechless ("National Anthem"). There are moments that make me think the band can write hooks with the best of them ("Handwritten") and times I feel like Brian's unique...
