One Liner

Audaciously honest songwriting. Innovative instrumentation. Powerful performance. Your new favourite proto-pop avant-folk trio.

Short BIO

Born in a storm on a wild Canadian lake, Red Moon Road has come into their own on trails between coasts and journeys overseas. From living rooms to folk fest main-stages, the trio has performed more than 1000 shows across 7 countries since 2012. Evolving from acoustic folk roots, their sound currently integrates Sheena’s powerful vocals with lush pop harmonies and nuanced arrangements that combine percussion, banjo, slide guitar, and synths.  

Following the chart-topping Sorrows and Glories, their Polaris long-listed sophomore album, Red Moon Road marks a return with Say It Again, an anthem poised to call out the soulless rhetoric of gaslighters in positions of power.  

Vocals, Percussion / Sheena Rattai

Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums / Daniel Jordan

Vocals, Mandolin, Banjo, Lap Steel, Keys & Synths / Daniel Péloquin-Hopfner



 

QUOTES 

“If there was MVP for an artist at this years 2016 Winnipeg Folk Festival it would go to Red Moon Road. They hosted two of our biggest workshops, the Sunday Morning Gospel and our jam packed Tribute to Bowie, Prince, Clark and Haggard. The band wowed our audiences and got standing ovations on several occasions throughout the weekend, including a set on main stage. A great addition.”
— Chris Frayer, Artistic Director, Winnipeg Folk Festival
Hillside Festival had the pleasure of having Red Moon Road appear at our festival. They were a huge hit with our audience on every stage they appeared on. They are not only an extremely talented group of musicians and fantastic to work with –the group was an invaluable part of the festival environment/experience with their natural ability to collaborate/adapt with other artists in sessions and completely engaged the audience. I give Red Moon Road a 5-Star recommendation without any hesitation.
— Sam Baijal, Artistic Director, Hillside Festival
The end of their show is a bittersweet experience – part of you wants to hear more music and the other part wants to rush to the stage and meet the band
— Julien Desaulniers, Artistic Producer, Festival du Voyageur
Red Moon Road are the perfect festival guests. Great multi-instrumentalists and singers who are not shy about joining in with others, they are a great spark plug for workshops.On the main stage they more than hold their own with great songs, fantastic stories and soaring harmonies. Don’t hesitate to hire them.
— James Keelaghan, Artistic Director, Summerfolk Festival
