Angela Perley & The Howlin’ Moons formed in 2009 around singer-songwriter Angela Perley. The group consists of Chris Connor, Billy Zehnal, Steve Rupp, and Perley. Perley’s music is nostalgic and heavily influenced by The Carter Family, Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, and Loretta Lynn, but Perley’s song delivery is unique in the way she manipulates words and phrasings. Many songs contain themes of the moon, love, railroads, and death, and Perley often writes through different characters. The Howlin’ Moons’ live shows are high energy Americana-tumble- and-roll and are always captivating and authentic.
