HARVESTMOON writes their music on journeys, while sitting by the sea, in a inspiring moment in a home-office-lunch break, or somewhere under an old tree in a summer garden. Their songs breath a mix of poetic melancholy and are light as air with unpredictably sense of rhythmn and melody.
The band- buddies, Andy Weber (piano, voice), Matthias Rist (guitar, voice, harmonica),
Rose Marie Gasser (voice, percussion), Philippe Yersin (cello, voice) played in various bands, live projects and
studio recordings. Depending on the project, guest musicians join the band. (e.g. drums and other instruments).
All started in the 90ties, when Rist'n'Rose (Matthias Rist and Rose Marie Gasser) met in a trashy band room in the catacombs of a culture factory in Eastern Switzerland (Kammgarn, Schaffhausen). Since then, the songwriter couple went through all the seasons and stood wild in the storms of life. In 2023 they went for a new name and founded Harvestmoon to sail new waters und playgrounds. Much like old Shakespeare would say. "If music be the food of love, play on."
