MercyMe biography

MercyMe, one of the most beloved and iconic groups in Christian music, reinvented themselves with their most recent release, "Welcome To The New."

Since their debut in 2001, GRAMMY®-nominated, American Music Award and multiple Dove Award winners MercyMe have sold more than 8.5 million units in CD, single and DVD sales, garnered 26 No. 1 multi-format Christian radio singles and four consecutive mainstream radio hits with “I Can Only Imagine,” (No. 4 AC/Top 25 on Top 40/Hot AC), “Here With Me” (No. 4 AC), “Homesick” (Top 10 AC), and “So Long Self.”

Their radio success has continued with their recent single “Greater,” which held the No. 1 spot at Christian radio for 16 weeks. MercyMe made history in 2014 as “I Can Only Imagine” surpassed 2 million digital downloads, making it the first song in Christian music to go platinum and double-platinum in the digital domain. In 2009, Billboard named MercyMe's "Word Of God Speak" the No. 1 Song of The Decade and the group the No. 1 Artist of the Decade in both the Christian Songs and Christian AC Songs categories, recognizing them as one of the industry's most notable talents. MercyMe has sold out venues across the nation, including Radio City Music Hall, and has appeared on The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CNN, Fox New Channel's Fox & Friends, ABC News, CBS This Morning and in the pages of Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, USA Today, Billboard and more. Their eighth studio album, Welcome To The New, garnered Billboard Music Award nominations in all three Christian categories and two GRAMMY® nods.

Live reviews

MercyMe is a Christian rock band. Most people are turned off when they hear Christian for a number of reasons. Most I think believe the music will sound "churchy", but nothing could be further from the truth. The music is comparable to what is played on mainstream radio minus all the overt sexual innuendos and excessive expletives. I Can Only Imagine carries a beautiful message of hope and grace which is extended universally and unconditionally. I really enjoyed seeing this performed live. It overwhelmed me with emotion, and I wasn't the only. I observed a few people shedding tears. It really had an emotional impact. That was quite a remarkable thing to witness.

MercyMe's lead vocalist somewhat reminds me of the lead vocalist from the country group Rascal Flatts. I am not sure why though. I guess because both men sing from the heart with real and true emotion. Nothing is put on for show, it's authentic and greatly appreciated. The venue in which I saw this particular group was a mega church. While there were a lot of people it still felt rather intimate overall. I loved it. I would recommend seeing MercyMe live if presented with that chance to do so.
