Myrcene (n) - [ murr-seen ] : An olefinic natural organic hydrocarbon; a significant component of the essential oil of several plants, including bay, cannabis, ylang-ylang, wild thyme, parsley, cardamom, and hops.

Myrcenes started on the south side of Chicago in 2015. As with many 21st century relationships, Chicago native Christian Lennon and Jake McCurry from downstate Illinois met online, in a Facebook group for local musicians. Over the next three years, fellow Chicagoan Caz Kanabrocki and Dov Stanley from Jackson Hole, Wyoming joined their ranks and rounded out their sound. Now Myrcenes carry on the long Chicago tradition of Blues, booze, and regret infused Rock and Roll by bringing fuzz and psychedelia to stages and basements across the Midwest.

April 2018 saw the release of two live videos for More Coffee Than Company and a new song Poltergeist through DZ Records in Hickory Hills, IL. On September 27th, Whiskey and Rye, the first single from the band will see a release, with 2 more singles on the horizon. Myrcenes have made the rounds in both the DIY scene and Chicago’s rock club circuit regularly since their debut, and plan to release their first Album in 2019.
