Johnny Mercer is the greatest American lyricist alive. I could no more write a lyric like one of his than fly.
—OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN
Johnny Mercer wrote songs for 90 motion pictures, won four Academy Awards, wrote six Broadway musicals, founded Capitol Records and created the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
His songs spanned the early days of the Swing Era through the mid-sixties progressive rock era. For five decades he collaborated with America’s greatest composers, including Hoagy Carmichael, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington, Andre Previn, Henry Mancini and many others.
From “Accentuate the Positive,” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” and “My Shining Hour” to “P.S. I Love You,” “On the Atchinson, Topeka and the Santa Fe,” and “Skylark,” MOSTLY MERCER explores Johnny Mercer’s success as a singer, lyricist, composer and businessman.
Join Bobbi Carrey, Doug Hammer on piano, Billy Novick on sax and clarinet and Andy Blickenderfer on cello and bass for this incredible musical journey.
