The Moon Family Band is 5 piece + group that plays a very wide variety of music from turn of the century old' tyme, big band, jazz and country standards, folk, Irish, Mexican, Hawaiian, fiddle tunes and early rock'n roll.  There are even some blues and classical thrown in there.  Four of us (Tina, Linda, Crystal and Eric) were very influenced by our musical parents, Jackie and Warren Moon.  We would play at Christmas and whenever we got together as a family.  Later, when Dad was in long term care we would go to his room and play music with him, Dad playing an electronic horn.  Soon the entertainment director of the facility asked if we'd play for all the residents.  The Moon Family Band grew from there.
