Stefan Scheuermann is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from St. Petersburg, Florida. Stef is also the primary writer for the Indie-Americana band Mercy McCoy, and founder of Ybor City Records®.

Following years of touring as a supporting instrumentalist, Stef took-on the lead writing and performing role, founding Mercy McCoy with close friend and longtime band-mate, Collin Ryan. Since then, he’s built a reputation as a crafty lyricist and engaging performer. That reputation has earned him an invite to perform at the famed Bluebird Café’s writers-in-the-round in Nashville, opening slots for venerated artists like The Wallflowers and Robert Earl Keene, and reviews commending his writing for its “Big-Sky Americana, folk-pop luster, and southern-blues swagger” (–Creative Loafing).

Through the years and musical projects, Stef has landed on bills and stages with some of the best songwriters on the planet, including supporting slots for Wilco, Jason Isbell, and Willie Nelson. “Brighter In The Dark,” Stef’s freshman record with Mercy McCoy, was well received, netting a mention by American Songwriter and recognition as a finalist in the one of the publication’s songwriting contests. Recent releases, like the dark Americana-rocker “Not Just Anyone,” and the folk leaning “My Dog and Time,” showcase a thoughtful evolution in song craft and producing prowess.

The reception of Mercy McCoy’s latest releases and live show have resulted in comparisons to bands like Dawes, Wilco, and The Wild Feathers, especially as the group has become a sought-after backing band in the Southeast, both on-stage and in the studio.

Stef is currently in the middle of releasing new music, including songs from Mercy McCoy’s next LP and solo releases in 2025. In addition to his own material, Stef is currently producing several other artists, and performing as a drummer for Leon Majcen and guitarist for Joshua Reilly.
