Canada's roots/swing duo "Over The Moon" are totally immersed in real cowboy country. When you set up home in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, it's inevitable that there will be a strong sense of place and the rhythms of the land when you start to play music.
Their music is a wild ride from 40's western swing and Appalachian old-time, to cowboy blues, all featuring their meant-to-be vocals and a wide array of acoustic instruments.
Suzanne Levesque and Craig Bignell are award-winning multi-instrumentalists and vocalists who have spent most of their lives as studio and live performance musicians for other artists. After discovering their near-perfect blend of voices, often moving people to tears upon hearing them sing together, they decided to try their own project, and Over the Moon was born.
Simple and sweet, their music and lyrics share a common thread that speaks to the Canadian West.
