I thank YOU for being a part of this grand tradition of excellence, motivation, and global

camaraderie. You join a special group of people from around the world. I am pleased to say

Paul Poovey, and Bill Pritchard were

searching for a way to use their musical

talents to connect more directly and

viscerally with our audiences. How could

we be rock stars on Alto horn, Clarinet,

Trumpet, or Tuba? Inspired by Serbian

and Romanian brass bands, we combined our love of Balkan

and Pop music and decided to bring it to Th e People in a no-

electricity-required, turbo-charged brass instrument delivery

system! Th us, Mercury Orkestar was born.

We go where the audiences are; playing in recital halls,

beer halls, and community gatherings. We’ve played at

the Atlanta Arts Festival, Smith’s Olde Bar, Th e 5 Spot, the

International Euphonium Institute, Red Light Cafe, 5 Seasons

Brewing, the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival, the Atlanta

Food Truck Park, and house parties all over Atlanta.

We released our debut recording in January 2013 and it

features 4 original, danceable tracks that merge traditional

Balkan music with Pop and Jazz and captures the high

energy, virtuoso playing, and wild improvisation that we’re

known for. We have also performed and

recorded with members of the Zac Brown

Band, and can be heard on Coy Bowles’ CD

Love Takes Flight.

When you need something to brighten your

day, Mercury Orkestar is there to deliver with

fun music and lively performances. Our spitfi re

trumpets, wailing clarinets, and booming tubas

are guaranteed to make you move.
