Trained exclusively in classical, non-stringed instruments, Mooncrow
chafed
under the strictures of classic music and sought different horizons.
He
picked up a guitar and applied his classical sensibilities to the folk
genre resulting in tight, lyrical compositions. His tones are sharp and
clean, highlighted by haunting vocal tones.
In some cultures the crow is a messenger between the physical and the
spiritual, and Mooncrow's songs are inspired by this netherworld.
The
songs you hear are the culmination of ten years of songwriting, sparked
by
a phrase overheard on the television, the rocking of a train, or even
the melancholic atmosphere of a desolate McDonald's.
Although long a practicing musician, a brief bout of stage fright keep
Mooncrow off the stage for a time. Now Mooncrow can fly to any gig
because his needs are few.
