Guitarist David Nelson and pedal steel wizard Buddy Cage will be representing the NRPS catalog along with Michael Falzarano (guitar, mandolin and vocals), Johnny Markowski (drums and vocals) and Ronnie Penque (bass and vocals). Michael you may recognize from his years with Hot Tuna, and Johnny and Ronnie from their band Stir Fried. Please note that John Dawson will not be a part of this outing due to some ongoing health concerns, but you can count on these guys not only keeping his tunes alive, but taking them to new places as well.
Moonalice is band of seasoned players exploring new musical territory with a passion. G.E. Smith ( Saturday Night Live , Bob Dylan ), Jack Casady (Hot Tuna), Pete Sears ( Jefferson Starship , Rod Stewart ), Barry Sless ( Phil Lesh & Friends, David Nelson Band), Ann & Roger McNamee (Flying Other Brothers), and Jim Sanchez (Dr. John, Boz Scaggs ) conjure up a heady brew of roots, rock, rhythm-and-blues, and more, peppered with spirited doses of improvisation and surprise.
A perfect example of the proverbial whole being greater than the sum of its parts, Moonalice turns it collective body of experience, ace musicianship, great songs, and love of adventure into live performances as distinct as they are compelling. Their debut album, helmed by acclaimed producer T Bone Burnett , will be released in late 2008.
