takes an intimate look at music artists' first rides
Third Eye Blind Headlines Show at the

LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury
Insurance (NYSE: MCY) and Live Nation have partnered up again to
help connect music fans with the artists they love through the
creation of Mercury's "My First Car"
series, which provides an inside look at artists' fond memories and
firsts behind the wheel.
"There are some common experiences in life that can bridge the
personal connection between artists and fans and one of them is
owning your first car," said Erik
Thompson, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at
Mercury Insurance. "We built the 'My First Car' series with that in
mind. There are so many memories associated with owning your first
car and we wanted to give artists the opportunity to share those
stories with their audiences and the world."
Third Eye Blind is among several artists participating in
Mercury's My First Car series.
"[My first car] was a 1960 Volkswagen Bug. Being in high school
and saving up for it gave me one of the first real senses of
autonomy and individuation," said Third Eye Blind lead vocalist
Stephan Jenkins. "The first thing I
did after getting the Bug was drive around hoping people would see
me and know I had a car."
