The original music of halie and the moon traverses themes of dreamscapes, love, mystery, and celestial images. Each song is brought to life by lush vocals wrapped in the warmth of cello and acoustic guitar, lifted by lyrical and powerful rhythms, building texture-rich layers and stripping them away to create worlds within worlds of sound.
halie and the moon was formed over the last few years as the relationships of its members grew organically out of the Eugene music scene. Vocalist/songwriter Halie Loren and songwriter/guitarist Daniel Gallo began collaborating three years ago (as long-time admirers of each other’s musical work). They quickly linked up with drummer Beau Eastlund and bassist Bobby Stevens, both having performed with Daniel in local bands Concrete Loveseat and My Father’s Ghost, respectively. In the midst of the foursome beginning work on their first recording project last fall, they crossed paths with cellist/vocalist Katherine Dudney last fall, who happened to be the perfect fifth element for the moon. The group is working to release their first recordings in the upcoming months, with sights set on a full-length album release next winter.
