Album Notes

A Unique Collection of Trad Inspired Tunes

Trip to the Moon, the new FootLoose CD, features traditional inspired tunes played with powerful, drum-laden grooves. In typical FootLoose style, this recording offers inspired high-energy performances, showcasing tight arrangements and rockin' improvisations in a wide
variety of styles, tempos and textures.

Drawing on a repertoire of traditional Irish, Southern old time, original and other sources, the recording is heavily influenced by today's dynamic contra dance aesthetic. But it doesn't stop there! Featured is Rex's virtuosi playing on fiddle and banjo, a new and luscious tango waltz composed by David, Dean's wailing clarinet leading a medley of Macedonian tunes, Jim's ever-creative percussion, plus a few surprises. And it's all held together by Pete's passionate and driving piano playing.

World fusion of new and old, Trip to the Moon is fun to listen to and guaranteed to keep those feet tapping!
