Mooncrow's
Biography
Mooncrow is a singer-songwriter who plays the guitar with the minimalism of Rothko to Dali-like surrealistic lyrics. 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 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.
