RADIANT MOON was formed in 2021 when veteran musicians/songwriters Brian Facklam (keyboards, vocals) and Dave Shahin (guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals) joined forces with Jimmy Grillo (drums) and Nick Lieto (vocals). They came from very different musical backgrounds which helped to create a unique chemistry in the band. Dave Shahin has been in multiple original rock and prog bands as well as being Tommy Tedesco’s (Wrecking Crew Guitarist) East Coast bassist in the 90’s, and has performed with Steve Gadd. Jimmy Grillo is also a veteran of multiple original bands and has toured as Carl Palmer’s drum tech. Nick Lieto was a singer, keyboardist, and songwriter for Frogg Cafe who besides releasing original albums also performed at the famed Zappanale festival in Germany. Brian Facklam has not only been a major part of multiple bands but holds a master’s degree in music and music theory.

Together they’ve recorded their debut album Now’s The Time and it is already garnering impressive reviews, such as these.

“In many ways this feels like a Seventies prog album which has been influenced by the likes of Yes in terms of the symphonic style, yet there is no doubt that Rush have also had a very important part to play…This is yet another new prog band to keep an eye on, and I look forward to their next album with great interest – one for progheads to discover.” Kev Rowland – Progressor.net and ProgArchives.com

“For those of you who are wondering if truly progressive music is a thing of the past, wonder no more! Radiant Moon is a breathtaking musical journey, very much in the vein of the best of 1970s Prog, but infused with a modern edge and energy that truly moves the very concept of Progressive Rock forward. Radiant Moon is an absolute must hear!” Scott Parker – author, and host/creator of the official Zappa Family Trust ZappaCast Podcast
