The Mercantillers are a seasoned New York City sextet that performs an upbeat and exciting blend of traditional and original sea-chanteys, bluegrass, folk music and rock-n-roll. The band started playing together full-time after their first impromptu performance nearly eight years ago at the Lower East Side's famed Collective Unconscious.

The group has been bringing their reelin' and rockin' sets of their original tunes, familiar folk songs, and sing-along chanteys to audiences throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and as far as Cape Cod.
