Somewhere in that nether realm between sodden Saturday nights and sacred Sunday mornings live the Mercy Brothers. Formed a couple of years ago by Mark Meaux, Kevin Sekhani and Garland Theriot, the band has been lighting up local stages with its righteous blend of honky tonk roots rock and gospel fervor. Never a dull moment with these boys, can we get an amen?

The band takes the stage Friday evening at Parc Sans Souci for the weekly Downtown Alive! free concert. Concession sales start at 5:30; the music cranks up at 6 and lasts until 8:30.
