Over the Moon

Canadian Juno nominated roots/swing duo Over The Moon's Suzanne Levesque and Craig Bignell are awarding multi-instrumentalists/vocalists that met, fell in love, got married and discovered their voices blend so well together that people often tear up upon hearing them sing.

Living on a ranch in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, it's inevitable there will be a strong sense of place- and the rhythms of the land when you start to make music. When the couple released their debut album, the resonances were there for all to hear. reflecting the pulse of life, lived in a territory that is both dirt-hard rugged and beautiful. 

Their music is a wild ride from 40's sounding western swing and Appalachian old-time, to cowboy blues.  Simple and sweet, all of their material has a common thread that speaks of the Canadian west and on their UK release, reviews were glowing…. 

 “They are naturals on stage, clearly delighted to be there and interspersing entertaining, tongue-in-cheek banter with stories of their lives in the tiny (population 297 according to the latest census) village of Longview, Alberta. There's even a bit of yodelling, which the crowd joins in enthusiastically. Sue's double bass drives things along at an easy loping pace while Craig's banjo and guitar (which Suzanne also essays on occasionally) sit on top, as comfortably as you could wish. Their songs are classy too, by turns sad, funny and insightful” - Jeremy Searle
