Biography
Long before the movie Moonstruck
starring Cher appeared in theaters, a band called Moonstruck was
born. When Moonstruck started out playing music at various gatherings,
there were very few songs dedicated to the
God and Goddess and Nature Spirits. So we began to collect and write
songs. As the New Age movement grew,
we were finally able to make our first recording, titled Moonstruck,
in 1996. With this tape, we undertook a
series of recordings dedicated to the God and Goddess and all beings
of love and light. These songs found a
home in all earth religions and many of the songs became classics.
Our second recording,
Witch of the Wildwoods was released on CD in 1999.
The songs on our CDs Witch of the Wildwoods
and Moonstruck speak of the mysteries of the Old Religion
taught to us in times past and now retold in song. We call them "tunes
of magical folklore".
This exciting mix of vocals, chants and instrumentals is sure to
uplift and inspire you.
