MOON RADIO & THE SMOOTA TÊTE-A-TÊTE

Moon Radio is a dreamy, cinematic lounge ensemble blending floating vocals, electric vibraphone, upright bass, woodwinds, percussion, and vintage synthesizers into a lush “space-age exotica” sound. Led by vocalist/guitarist Julia Haltigan and vibraphonist/synth player Yusuke Yamamoto, the group channels tropical jazz and cosmic lounge into something both transportive and intimate. Featuring Julia Haltigan on vocals and guitar, Ari Folman-Cohen on upright bass, Tony Jarvis on bass clarinet, Morgan Price on flute, Smoota on trombone, Yusuke Yamamoto on vibraphone, Dylan Fusillo on percussion,. Moon Radio feels like a late-night transmission drifting in from another planet.

The Smoota Tête-à-Tête is an intimate exotica jazz ensemble built around vibraphone, trombone, upright bass, clarinet, flute, and percussion, same musicians as Moon Radio. Moody, melodic, and groove-forward, the group creates the atmosphere of a subterranean cocktail lounge somewhere between 1960s Paris, tropical noir, and the dark side of Venus. Led by trombonist Dave 'Smoota' Smith, the ensemble moves fluidly between hypnotic grooves, cinematic jazz textures, and lush improvisation.

Though each project has its own distinct musical identity, both groups share many of the same musicians creating a seamless collaborative performance when presented together. The combined show moves naturally between vocal-driven dream pop, moody exotica jazz, cinematic instrumentals, and improvisational late-night lounge music, creating an immersive atmosphere that has become a favorite wherever the ensembles perform together.
