MOON LETTERS - “On The Shoreline” (UNTIL THEY FEEL THE SUN - 2019)
Moon Letters is a local Seattle band I’ve know since its inception. Actually, I knew these guys prior to that when they were in other bands. I’ve played Moon Letters demos on The Progressive Tracks Show. I’ve attended many of their live shows. I’ve bought merch. I’ve loved every minute of this association. These are not only talented, but great guys... and I’ve always been a cheerleader for their success!
While music is a tough business, Progressive Rock is an almost impossible business to succeed in. But after their astounding performance at 2019′s SeaProg Festival, Moon Letters got what seemed to be their big break, when they were recruited for the 2020 Rites Of Spring Festival (RoSFest) in Florida this coming May (with the likes of Big Big Train, Cast, Thank You Scientist, and the United Progressive Fraternity) .
Well, as you can well imagine, RosFest has now been cancelled because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and Moon Letters has hunkered down like the rest of us to ride this one out.
I’m posting this because, despite this ‘Act of God’ setback for them, this is a band that is going places. So I think you should get to know their music (BTW, “Until They Feel The Sun” made several reviewers’ Top 10 Lists for 2019).
