Details:
The Blue Moon Lodge is the musical vehicle for the extraordinary songwriting of Dave Walker.
The band has its roots firmly in the hills to Melbourne’s East and is at the vanguard of the thriving music scene emerging from the area.
Sell out theatre shows at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre in Warburton, headline performances at Eildon’s ‘Music under the Stars’ and high energy pub gigs at Brunswick’s Lomond Hotel show the band’s appeal to a wide range of audiences and their ability to put on a great show in any environment.
The Blue Moon Lodge features David Ricciuti on vocals/guitar and mandolin, Mark McNeilly (bass/vocals), Greg Hunt (violin/mandolin), Louch Evangelista on drums and Dave out the front handling vocals, acoustic & electric guitars and lap steel.
All have a wealth of experience in their own right and have individually built impressive musical resumes in the genres of country, roots, blues, rock & Celtic
music.
"Dave Walker and his band exist in that twilight world between musical styles, much as my own band does. Their songs evoke past and present Australia, just as The Band did for the American south. Songs like Brophy''s Tent and
Pinnaroo Quarantine deserve their place alongside the work of people like Shane Howard and Paul Kelly."
~ Shane Pacey, Bondi Cigars
"The songs of Dave Walker paint vivid pictures of characters and situations that will have the audience captured in no time. Dave has two ingredients that are essential - good songs and powerful delivery. Not hard with an accomplished musician such as Dave himself and the hot band he''s got with him. They include players who have done the musically rich Melbourne scene for years. Dave''s casual nature emerges in many of his songs, but they''ll make
you think as well......and laugh and cry and dance."
