MoondogsGypsyBluesBand

Blues/Acoustic/Roots Duo

MoondogGypsyBluesBand are a two piece original blues band, developing their sound from the masters of old & new, such as Lightnin Hopkins, Tom Waits, and Bo Diddley. Frontman Moondog uses a variety of guitars including slide and resonators, along with harp to complement his authentic, growling vocal. The rhythm is provided by Kate La Jam playing stand-up drum kit, cajone & percussion. So what makes MGBB rise above being just another blues band? Simply put, MoondogGypsyBluesBand has a stage presence that's raw, unedited MOJO. Their signature is simple yet strong drum rhythms supporting Moondog's gutsy guitar and vocals. Its blues with fangs, black hats ,old suede shoes, and a kick of cabaret for eye-candy. Original, traditional and modern blues synthesized into a sound that gets you dancing and howling at the moon. "blues is life .... such is blues"

Influences
Moondogs inspiration comes from contemporary musicians like Neil Young and Tom Waits, "who showed me I could be true to the music I felt while surrounded by commercialism & the peer pressure to be otherwise. Lightning Hopkins connected me to the blues in a real human way that touched this white boy like nothing from my own culture could do. Its where I fit into this world"
