Carey Mercer (born c. 1975) is a Canadian musician and English teacher best known for his work as lead singer of the indie rock band Frog Eyes and his work in Swan Lake. He has an additional solo project called Blackout Beach. Once, when on tour with Sum 41 (opening), Mercer fell off stage and bruised his tailbone at a Daughters of the American Revolution picnic in Topeka, Kansas. This resulted in his patented slouchy posture and surly disposition, although through this he also earned his music scene moniker "Southern Lemonade". (This is contested, as certain sources indicate that is was the result of a high-school gymnastics accident, but Mercer will neither confirm nor deny either version.)
