Along with Moon’s versatile voice, guitar playing and production chops, the record also features her writing partner, guitarist, mandolinist, backing vocalist and co-producer Brandon Cook, co-producer keyboardist and percussionist Andy Korn, hard hitting drummer Kyle Baltus, bassist Allen Hunter and guest appearances by Jean-Pierre Garau on keyboards, The Davis Sisters on vocals, with Lewis Dragulin and Jon VanCura adding horns. The record was tracked at The Hallowed Halls recording studio in Portland Oregon.
Sarah Moon “Cut & Run”
Charismatic, riveting, and commanding are a just a few terms that describe what she brings as singer and performer. While paying respectful homage to a few of her influences including Etta James, Chris Cornell, classic rock and old school blues, her voice and style are all her own. Growing up in a household where her parents worked in live music production, music has always been, in some form or fashion, a big part of what’s Sarah is about. Call it fate or the subliminal effect of hearing her mother singing around the house, Sarah began singing as a child and landed a gig in the Rapid City Children’s Chorus. She then received classical training eventually forming a vision of what she wanted to do if she had a band of her own. She has continued her musical journey recording music and regularly gigging at venues in Oregon and Canada.
Moon is currently planning to tour in support of Cut & Run in late 2022.
