Born into a puddle of whiskey beneath a stark winter moon and raised
by cold winds, schooled in the warming spirits and hungry for more,
Whiskey Moon Face manage a natural, graceful sound built from many
ports. Singer-songwriter Louisa Jones and her troupe of
musical-journey men straddle times and styles with ease and
familiarity to conjure a sound at once arresting and that you can also
dance to.
Louisa was born in Northumberland and is now based in East London. Her
musical career and life is a quirky trip through styles and countries.
A decade ago on a trip to Ireland Louisa spent some time on Sherkin
Island where she stayed with a Celtic musician who inspired her to
learn the accordion. Later she spent time in Bhopal in Northern India,
learning Dhrupad (northern Indian classical vocal tradition) with the
Guducha Brothers. She studied ethnomusicology at SOAS and has a
diploma in astronomy at UCL. These have had a strong influence on her
song writing. She also plays double bass, cornet (sometimes at the
same time as accordion!) and clarinet. Whiskey Moon Face also share a
love of traditional jazz, influencing their original songs.
