Hailing from the mountains of Colorado, Gregory Morgan brings to New Moon a dynamic use of Brazilian tambourine brush sticks, shakers and foot percussion to complement the sounds of traditional blues while adding a more contemporary feel.

New Moon Acoustic Blues Band performs traditional blues, and spiritual tunes. Performing songs by artists such as the Reverend Gary Davis, Robert Johnson and Mississippi John Hurt, in effort to emulate this feeling of the early 1900's in its prevalence today.
