Sunday - Award-winning acoustic roots/swing duo Over the Moon plus John Statz.

Their music is a wild ride from 40's sounding western swing and Appalachian old-time, to cowboy blues

Their first CD "Moondancer", was released in 2017 and it reflects the beautiful two-part harmony style that they are known for and the wide array of acoustic instruments that they play. Most of the songs are original and tell stories of life lived in Southern Alberta's ranching country.
