Bio

A smash at Viva Las Vegas (VLV) 2013 – the largest Rockabilly festival in the world -- Maureen & the Mercury 5 was named among the top 20 bands of 70 appearing there, with the iconic tune “What’s It Gonna Take” featured on the VLV compilation CD. M&M 5 draws its sound from late 50's and early 60's, notably inspired by rockabilly greats like The Stray Cats, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and inimitable soubrettes Dusty Springfield, Ann Margret, Amy Winehouse and even Chrissie Hynde. 2015 marked two SRO concerts with the Ameripolitan award-winning international Rockabilly sensations, Big Sandy & His Fly Rite Boys.
In July 2015, Maureen became the first female music director in late night talk show history as  Maureen & the Mercury 5 were cast as the house band for the new live-to-tape program, “After Dark with Julian Clark at The Second City”. M&M5’s single, “The Keepin’ Kind” (from the album by the same name on Swingtone Records / Universal Music Group) was chosen as the theme song for the show, which producers hope will follow in the footsteps of Second City creations “Saturday Night Live” and “SCTV”.
