About
Little Moon, the American indie folk rock band from Springville, Utah, captured hearts with their powerful performance at the recent NPR Tiny Desk concert, winning the 2023 Tiny Desk Contest with their mesmerizing song "wonder eye." Led by singer-songwriter Emma Hardyman's impressive 4-octave voice, the band showcased their emotional depth and creativity with a set featuring two unreleased songs recorded for their upcoming album.
The band, which also includes Emma's husband Nathan Hardyman, Bly Wallentine, Bridget Jackson, Chris Shemwell, and Grace Johnson, brings together elements of folk, pop, and indie rock to create a unique sound. Little Moon's music, described as "mesmerizing and fantastical folk music," has drawn comparisons to artists like Joanna Newsom, with their songs touching on themes of grief and acceptance.
"Wonder eye," inspired by a visit to Nathan's mother in hospice care, explores the concept of mourning various types of "deaths" in life, leading to a deeper understanding of humanity. As winners of the Tiny Desk Contest, Little Moon embarked on a tour across major U.S. cities, captivating audiences with their intimate and other-worldly singing style.
With their debut album "Unphased" released in 2020 and their second album "Dear Divine" set for October 2024, Little Moon continues to enchant listeners with their emotionally resonant music and captivating live performances. Keep an eye out for this talented band as they solidify their place in the indie music scene.
