Moon Boot Lover delivers a one-of-a-kind mix of rock, funk and soul, with dynamic versatility and range. From high-energy body-moving grooves to heartfelt emotive ballads, Peter Prince (front man & MBL originator) & MBL are widely respected by fans and musicians alike for their signature "Rocket Soul" sound and deep catalog of songs that top "all-time favorites" lists of fans across the globe!
Founded in NYC in 1993, the initial lineup of Moon Boot Lover featured guitarist, vocalist & MBL songwriter, Peter Prince alongside Alan Evans on drums & Owen Yost on bass, they recorded MBL's first release,Outer Space Action (1994).The following year Neal Evans on keyboards & Jon Hawes on bass joined the group to record MBL's second live release, Live Down Deep (1995). Each album featured a comic book-style cover art drawn by Peter Prince. The band achieved success on the jam bands circuit with contemporaries like moe., Schleigho, and others. In fall of 1996, they played a short Rock the Vote tour with moe., the Ominous Seapods, and Yolk, which featured a large amount of cross-pollination between the groups. After a couple of years of hard touring around the country, Jon Hawes left the group, leaving P.Prince & the Evans brothers to record their 3rd studio release, Catskill Martian Dogs (1997). The Evans brothers left to pursue other projects (Soulive), Prince, meanwhile, participated in collaborative acoustic tours with singer/songwriter David Gans, members of moe., and others entitled the Merry Danksters, as well as touring with Allman Brothers guitarist, Derek Trucks, before putting together a new lineup of Moon Boot Lover. With the transience of the lineup established, Peter Prince firmly became the group's center of attention. His frenetic guitar playing on his trademark Flying V guitar, coupled with his maniacally comic stage persona and deeply soulful voice was simultaneously visually entertaining and exhilarating. Now touring as an elder of the jam band scene, the new lineup of Moon Boot the reunion of Jon Hawes back on bass, Andy Herrick on drums (Assembly of Dust) & Jeff Merrow on keyboards. The new lineup recorded Back on Earth in 2000, a well-balanced collection of funk, rock, and soul originals. Yet another lineup of the band soon took to the road -- this one featuring Nate
Edgar on bass and Mike Dunkle on drums -- in support of the disc, with Hawes and Herrick
signing on for selected dates. In the spring of 2001, Prince also undertook a solo acoustic tour playing colleges and theaters, opening & performing with longtime Dave Matthews collaborator Tim Reynolds.
Since, MBL has gone thru several more line up changes with super talented musicians keeping the original "Rocket Soul" spirit alive. Jeremiah Hosea, Swiss Chris, Johnny Trama, Gary Wicks, Brian Sayers, Ben Carle, Mike Migliozzi ,Tom Martin & Lee Falco...
