Moondance is a 5-star musical ensemble covering Van Morrison's timeless up-tempo soulful, rock, blues anger for Steve Miller, d Celtic ballads from the 1960’s to the present. We are a Seattle based band. The band’s performances capture the lyrical and rhythmic passion that has enchanted Van Morrison's audiences throughout the years along with our all-star sound. Moondance has a fun, engaging style that provides our audiences a connection to the "feel good magic" of Van Morrison's music.
Michael Clune, the band leader who put Moondance together 5 years ago recalls his thoughts leading up to committing to Van Morrison’s music and legacy. “I always had super respect for the troubadours, the songwriters with a soulful genuine delivery. I was moved by Van’s diversity of blues, jazz, rock, and Americana styles, his arrangements that were open to improvisation, and his ability to tell a story with significant emotional depth.” Moondance is made up of 6 talented musicians that are experienced pros with big ears. Their 3 part vocal harmony arrangements and soloing expertise perform Van’s songs not only in a true tribute spirit, but with their own musical expression that conveys a real time feeling to their audience.
