Live in the Moment. This is the theme that always comes up when the members of Moonraker talk about their songwriting and their live performances. With this self-titled CD release, this is not only Moonrakers moment, this is their time. Moonraker's members include a classically trained pianist, a self-taught bassist, a huge Muddy Waters fan, a chef, and a sonic healer. Their affinity for all things musical brought the together nearly four years ago. Those years found them performing alongside Joan Osborne, Lake Trout, The Slip, DJ Spooky, Ice T, Broken Social Scene, and the Disco Biscuits. From the ethereal "Shalom" to the inspiring message of "Modern Way" to the ambient rock edge of "Salimander" and "Courageous World", Moonraker's quintet of talent delivers a unique, coherent sound that offers something for everyone. A hybrid of trance, rock, electronica and jazz overtones, Moonraker have the spirit and soul to go all the way. Their mix of drum, bass, keyboard and guitar, accompanied by Scarr's memorable vocal phrasing & energy, is what makes Moonraker stand out in a crowded playing field. From the band's inception, their creative purpose was, and still is, to let the music form itself. At an average age of twenty-two, the still have many creative frontiers to explore. They observe and contribute, but ultimately the music takes its course. Moonraker let the music flow and ride the wave. Take the journey with them.
