This is a project I did with climbers. 
The band and the band's name were conceived during a trip to Alaska.

The Moose are: Daniel Isle Sky, Courtney Purcell (CP) and Deann Purcell (DB). A cast of roaming herd include Luca Baradel, Ephrat Baradel, Ayelet Bitton and Keith Reyes. 

The moose wrote their first song, “It’s Just a Scramble," at a Thanksgiving rendezvous in Zion National Park. 

The name for the band came as we were preparing to perform to park rangers, camp ground staff, and campers at Lake Eklutna in Alaska.

Eklutna

Written when Sky visited the heard in August during their last days as summer campground hosts at Eklutna Lake in Alaska. Some moose like to swim. 

Recorded at Sky’s home when two of the moose were grazing past. 

Lead vocal by CP. Djembe hand drum played by DB.  Parts were added at Pacific Beat Recording Studio in San Diego. 

Ready…

Here we go!

 

Birds and berries, twigs and stones
Up at Eklutna I’m makin’ my home
Out in the woods I‘m feeling fine

At Eklutna

Floatin’ on the lake, paddle’n with friends
Start’n to wish this summer won’t end
Staying up late in the midnight sun

At Eklutna

Hangin with Mookie and Dangerous Dan
Dimples, Michele, Vicki, Kerry and Keith 
The Ranger Man

At Eklutna

Shake’n that snow globe watch’n it change
Bear and moose both make’n their way   
Trees and mountains wish’n we could stay

At Eklutna

For the fans and nolstalgia 
Unreleased first takes and working tapes

Original Track - Recorded at Sky's Tree House
