Two of the members were closely associated with the Legendary jazz pianist/educator Lennie Tristano. The mission of the Westchester Jazz Alliance and the WAJQ is, through education, performances, and jazz parties, to increase awareness, participation, and enjoyment of jazz in the New York area and beyond.  Sons of Mercury is a fresh, strong-energy band that blends classic and new rock, playing covers ranging from the 1970’s all the way to the present, along with their new, emerging originals. Started by three NYC boys (on bass, drums, and guitar) with an added touch of singing Cali vocals, Sons of Mercury bring both a new yet nostalgic sound to the live music scene. Galen James-Heskett on lead vocals, Sean Pagán on lead guitar, Michael Bode on bass and back-up vocals, and Devan Sáez on drums. IG: @sonsofmercury  An evening of short works.
