Introduction
Seattle’s Moon Fever quartet delivers rock ‘n’ roll anthems with bucket loads of swagger! Their songs full to the brim with catchy melodies and impressive showmanship on all instruments. This has lead to millions of streams and recognition from magazines as well as the wider industry. When asked about their inspiration for making music, they mention it’s to “fill a hole in their soul.” When music is done to fill a primal need it always produces great results!
The group consists of close friends Triston (Vocals), Mitch (Guitar), Dave (Bass), and Troy (Drums). Since the release of their Payphone Blue EP, they have been thriving. Sharing the stage with Buckcherry and Godsmack has helped them establish a solid reputation for their energetic live performances. We have no doubt their audience numbers are only going to multiply!
