Mike Nugent & The Blue Moon Band bring years of musical experience to their latest single, “Winter in America”. Based in Huntington, New York, the band draws on blues, rock, and soul, with a lineup of musicians who each bring their own experience and personality. Nugent has spent much of his career performing across the country alongside well-known artists. He is also recognized for his work as lead guitarist with Cadillac Moon, whose original music was featured in the film The Devil’s Advocate, starring Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. His experience as a guitarist and songwriter has clearly shaped the direction of his current project. The Blue Moon Band features Diane Lotny on vocals, Kevin Austin on drums, Mark Mancini on keyboards, Jimmy Fleming on violin and mandolin, John Cardone on bass, and Mike Nugent on guitar. It’s a talented group with a shared appreciation for different musical styles, giving the band plenty of possibilities for both original material and live performances.
“Winter in America” follows several earlier releases, including “Joyous Occasion”, “Everything Catches Up” and “Love and Light”, which features Diane Lotny. These recordings introduce listeners to Nugent’s songwriting and the creative direction he’s been developing with the band. I always enjoy seeing experienced musicians keep creating original music and bringing new ideas to their work. There’s also something appealing about a band built around people with different musical backgrounds who come together through a shared love of performing. With “Winter in America”, Mike Nugent & The Blue Moon Band add another release to their growing catalog. The group also performs at concerts, festivals, and intimate venues, with full-band, duo, and trio options available for booking.
