MOONCHILD, one of the world’s most exciting alt-jazz acts, have announced a debut tour of Australia this June in support of their fourth full-length, Little Ghost.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 11am Monday, February 17.
My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning 10am Friday, February 14 until 10am Monday, February 17.

Moonchild is a combination of three multi-instrumentalists — Amber Navran [vocals, tenor saxophone, flute, keyboards, synth bass, drum programming], Andris Mattson [trumpet, flu-gelhorn, keyboards, synth bass, guitar, drum programming], and Max Bryk [alto saxophone, clarinet, keyboards, synth bass, drum programming]. The resulting union yields an ever-evolving fusion of alternative R&B and neo-soul. For as singular as each personality may be, they all participate equally in writing, producing, tracking, and mixing their records, collaborating as true equal partners. Not only do they create as a unit, but they also evolve, grow, and transform as one.
After that first shared piano bench session at the University of Southern California, the group unveiled their debut record “Be Free” in 2012. “Please Rewind” followed three years later, and 2017’s “Voyager” saw them ascend to new critical peaks. NPR Music touted the record among, ‘Five R&B Albums You Slept On In 2017,’ and JAZZ FM named them ‘Soul Act of the Year’ for 2018. Their singles ‘Cure’ toppled 8 million Spotify streams and ‘The List’ exceeded 7 million plays on YouTube.
Moonchild recently performed ‘Money’, ‘The Other Side’ and ‘The List’ live on NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk Concert’ – watch it below.
As the band began writing and recording their latest record, “Little Ghost” in 2018, the individual progression of each musician informed and elevated the creative process. While laying down tracks at a Lake Arrowhead retreat, Andris dove further into the guitar, incorporating it at the core of the new music. With co-signs from jazz/soul heavyweights like Stevie Wonder and Indie.Arie, the trio have quickly made a name for themselves for their dreamy compositions.
Moonchild rapidly caught the attention of the LA scene and have since gone on to perform headline shows everywhere from the United States, Europe and Asia, touring with The Internet, Kamasi Washington and more. If you’re a fan of Mildlife, Khruangbin, Hiatus Kaiyote or Oscar Jerome, don’t miss MOONCHILD – playing live in Melbourne and Brisbane this June.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
