Episode 510 - Kate Griffin & Shawn Murphy of Above The Moon

Being a musician in New Jersey has got to be a tough road. On one hand, you have one of the most revered artists in music history, and on the other hand, you have Jon Bon Jovi. Their combined album sales and streams are too many to count.

Eating, breathing, and gigging around those giants and hidden in the cracks and on the backroads are loads of artists who stand on their shoulders and in their shadows.

Above the Moon is one of those bands. They are Kate Griffin on guitar and vocals, Shawn Murphy on lead guitar, Kyle Griffin on bass, and John Gramuglia on drums.

Formed in 2016, they immediately began creating the music THEY wanted to hear. By incorporating influences like singer-songwriter fare to traditional rock, with some shoegaze and pop thrown in for good measure. Above the Moon has carved out a distinctive sound that is authentically them.

After a string of EPs, the band has released their first full-length album, Mine Again.

Kate and Shawn stopped by Thunderlove Studio to talk about the new album and a bunch of other stuff. Stories were told, and laughs were had.

Pull up a chair; here is their conversation with Keith and Geoff.
