Red Moon Road is a Winnipeg-based, touring songwriters’ collective. The band is driven by the reckless abandon and disarming beauty of vocalist Erin Propp, the songwriting of power-house multi-instrumentalist Daniel Jordan and the sweet harmonies, banjo and mandolin playing of Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner. These musicians deliver songs that tell stories; songs you want to hear again; songs “frankly filled with images which evoke the life of the land, and its connection to the heart†(Rev. Bill Cliff). With a powerful and honest live delivery, the band has been winning hearts and fans at festivals (Trout Forest, Fire N’ Water, Harvest Moon), house concerts, and venues (Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club, West End Cultural Center) throughout Manitoba and Ontario since its 2010 inception. With more songs to be written, shows to be played, kitchens to jam in and campfires to trade songs around, the band continues to grow its library of adventures ******************************************* SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 12, 2011 ******************************************* It's not everyday you get an eight piece Juno Award winning band playing at a little house on the prairies. This is also David Boulanger's birthday! Let's have a good birthday for him ...
