"The Moondance Band"

Dynamic Musical and Vocal Experience

Dance Party, Classic Rock & Country + Dinner Music

The band was formed in 1976 in Saratoga, CA by Rich Haggett, the leader of Moondance. He is the defacto guitar-zan' of lead guitar, a great bass player and is a powerful and soulful lead vocalist. His attentive musical nature, is why "Moondance" has stayed on course. The band has played over 1,000 gigs in 5 countries. This vast experience has enabled the ensemble to please any crowd with their huge selection of music. From dance party, classic rock and country, to smooth dinner jazz, Moondance can deliver the sounds for any occasion. Along with Rich Haggett is a strong roster. Rick Leachman, has been with the band since 1983. A polished verteran musician, he plays a blue's tinged style lead guitar, pumping bass guitar, harmonica and a lead vocalist with a screaming dynamic range.  From rock, blues, funk or country, Rick has the vocal chops to render those style's. Then there's Les Pierce's soulful tenor sax that is coupled to Steve Knapp on baritone sax, the unit they call the "Atomic Horn's". As they are a super tight horn section, Les also play's a mean flute, while Steve holds down the low end on vocal's. Finally, what does every good band need, a great drummer. "Moondance" has the super talented James Oerman pounding those DW'S into submission. He's got the groove down. The band and their experience bring's a consistant musical flow to their show's. Professional in every way and in constant demand. From nightclub's, to party's and festival's, "The Moondance Band", is for sure, your ticket to a great, fun, musical experience for your special event. Enjoy our site here!
