Moon Looks On, led by Stephen Gormley, have spent the past few years crafting a sincere folk and roots music album inspired by his time in the OX mountains in Ireland. Transitioning from a DJ to a full-time musician, Stephen formed the band in Dublin while studying music. Their debut EP, 'Moon Looks On,' earned them a spot at St. James’ Church at Other Voices. Noted for their sound reminiscent of Van Morrison and The Waterboys, the band released singles like 'Pray for the Rain' and 'Summertime in Bloom,' receiving acclaim from critics and radio play in Ireland and the UK. They performed at various festivals, including Glastonbury, where Stephen played on the same stage as Ed Sheeran's first Glastonbury appearance. Moon Looks On recorded their album at Windmill Lane, and notable singles like 'Friends Keep Dropping,' 'Razor Wire Skies,' and 'Sorry State Blues' gained global attention, featuring on New Music Friday UK Spotify playlist. In 2023, Stephen released a solo EP, 'Way Out West,' as a precursor to the upcoming album scheduled for early 2024.
