Pixie Moonshine

Pixie Moonshine

Writing music in a bid to not completely break down for 25 years. I hate the sound of new strings. I’m terrible at not swearing. Mostly harmless creature.

Ocean in Between, by pixie moonshine 29/09/2023

Sooo excited to announce that the newest single is finally out! Scott Gray and I worked and reworked this one a few different ways and it’s really transformed from how I used to play it as a solo acoustic performer at open mic nights when I first wrote it back in 2012.
10 years later, I’m firmly on the Scottish side of the ocean ( though I wish I could teleport back to Canada for visiting purposes!) and this song is finally getting treated to a proper recording.
I’m on vocals (lead and backing), guitars (many guitars) and bass as usual and Scott is working his magic on the drums and percussion (try to figure out what he’s used!) as well as adding some saucy-trippy keys action. We also have a backing vocal debut from my husband Mark, only fitting since this song is indeed about him.
We hope you enjoy our latest intercontinental creation.

Lots of things on my YouTube channel including run throughs of most of my songs when they were first written. I think there’s about 10 or so years worth of material on there, for better or for worse. Plus 2 visualisers for the first singles from the upcoming album.
