About Moon Taxi:
Since forming in 2006, Moon Taxi have brought their genre-bending musicality to a boldly adventurous body of work, all while taking their live show to leading festivals across the country and sold-out runs at such iconic venues as the Ryman Auditorium. In a dynamic new era for the Nashville-based band-vocalist/guitarist Trevor Terndrup, lead guitarist Spencer Thomson, bassist Tommy Putnam, keyboardist Wes Bailey, and drummer Tyler Ritter-their fifth full-length Silver Dream broadens their sonic palette even further, exploring everything from folk to soul to inventively crafted electronic pop. But while the album embodies an endlessly forward-thinking sound, its lyrics offer a thoughtful reflection on days gone by.
"A lot of these songs came from bringing up moments from the past and recognizing how those memories, especially the good ones, have a sort of soft shine to them," says Terndrup. "The title is our way of asking, 'Was it really as beautiful as you remember?'" As Thomson notes, the sweetly hazy reminiscence documented on Silver Dream involved tapping into something of a collective memory. "We've been making music together for such a long time that we've all seen each other go through major life changes," he says. "Because of that, the moments that found their way into the lyrics are often experiences that we all lived through together."
About Funk You:
Funk You is a musical manifestation of nine kindred spirits from an east Georgia city. Motivated by a love of live performance and armed with a captivating sonic presence, the band places a healthy helping of soul atop a funky backbeat. Combining modern musical sensibilities with the last vestiges of the chitlin circuit, results in an ever-evolving sound that continues to draw crowds nationwide.
Ten years on the road is no easy undertaking for any musical outfit, much less a group anchored by a group of childhood friends. As Funk You plans to dive into what comes next - they invite friends and fans alike to enjoy their newest musical offering, Moving Forward. "Moving Forward really is exactly what it sounds like," says Will Clark. "We're truly proud of what we've accomplished over the last decade and we can't wait to see what is coming next."
