Mermaid Motor Lounge

Mermaid Motor Lounge was created by Josh Erwin. The band uses acoustic dexterity while filling out the sound with electric guitar, upright bass, fiddle, harmonies, and percussion. “Fits and Starts” is the band’s debut album, recorded at Standard Electric Studios by Damon Moon. Release date first quarter 2018.

Depending on the lore, Mermaids are saints and saviors, or they're muses and murderers. Josh Erwin is hosting them all at the Mermaid Motor Lounge. Delivering songs of damning relief as well as happy despair.

2020 began with a trip to Chase Park Transduction studios to record the second album. The team involved included Scott McCaughey, Drew Vandenberg and the Mermaid band.

Then, The Pandemic brought about The Boat Show, initially planned as a one-off spectacle, has become a mainstay in Atlanta. It always culminates in the same effect-- whether the boat rolls or stays stationary with the band on board: it smacks everyone’s attention span right in the face in the best way possible. It grabs hold, demands a double take, makes you smile and leaves you with the lingering joy of a great day on the water.

Mermaid continues to bring music on stationary stages as well. Keep in touch and we’ll see ya soon!
