Steve Gulley of the band Mountain Heart says, "Blue Moon Rising is without a doubt the most intriguing and original new band I've heard. These guys have it all. They write most everything they sing and play and do so with a flair and style that sets them apart from the usual bluegrass fare. In my opinion, they're the best kept secret in bluegrass music, but look out because that's about to change. These guys are for real and as soon as the rest of the world hears and sees this band perform they'll be a household name. There's a new bluegrass sound dawning and their name is Blue Moon Rising!
