Autumn Almañac: Grammys, Concerts and Director’s Cuts
So many things are happening as Sun Moon makes its way into Autumn . . . First the big news: Sun Moon is on the ballot for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards! Mr. Allen Clapp (that’s me) is up for engineering the record, and Myles Boisen from Headless Buddha Mastering Lab is on the ballot…
Mid-Western Moon

July, She Will Fly
As Art Garfunkel sings it, “July, she will fly, and give no warning to her flight.” We find this to be true. Having a little respite from our May and June shows, it’s been nice to spend a few weeks beginning to write new songs, traveling along the coast and getting ready for a busy…
