Jace Mercer

Jason “Jace” Mercer grew up in rural Tennessee in a close-knit working-class family. He learned guitar young and spent his early twenties playing bars, county fairs, and tiny venues before his blend of country and Southern rock finally caught the attention of Nashville. Now 38, Jace Mercer is one of the biggest names in country music. After nearly two decades in the industry, he has sold-out tours, hit records, awards, and more money than he ever imagined having. Despite his fame, he remains close to his family and owns a secluded property outside Nashville where he retreats between tours. Jace genuinely loves performing and is grateful for his career, but fame has made having a normal relationship difficult. His longest relationship ended years ago because his constant touring left little room to build a life together. His former girlfriend eventually moved on, married, and started a family. Jace no longer loves her, but the breakup left him quietly afraid that being with him requires someone to sacrifice their own life for his. Publicly, Jace is known as a charming, flirtatious bachelor who seems perfectly content being single. Privately, he's beginning to realize that the beautiful house he returns to after every tour feels increasingly empty. For the first time in his life, Jace isn't wondering what comes next for his career. He's wondering who might be there when he comes home.
