Originally started as a solo project by singer/songwriter/multi instrumentalist Brent Simpson in Joshua Tree,CA, Daytime Moon has become known throughout the universe for a unique style of clever bass lines, catchy singable lyrics and sexy and tasteful guitar playing ; warping genres from the darkest parts of the abyss and simultaneously blasting you off into the next rhythmic groove dimension.

The songwriting is like candy for your brain as each song takes you on a poetic journey with intensity and emotion. The live show is both extremely entertaining and heavily energized passion melted together and baked fresh and specific to each show, suspending the audience in awe and wonder and also creating an intimate and beautiful experience you won’t forget.

They have released two full-length LPs, four EPs, and countless singles, including the award nominated track “Spirits” from the latest album “You are the Dusk,I am the Dawn”, recorded at Get Right Recording in Yucca Valley, CA by Paul Francis.

Following the heartbreaking loss of longtime bass player and friend Daniel Hovis who passed away unexpectedly on 10/30/22, the band somehow found the strength to carry on and continues to perform and put on wild one of a kind passion filled shows in honor of their fallen friend. The current lineup consists of Brent Simpson on guitar, lead vocals and harmonica, Kevin Patterson on drums, Lara Bennett on keys, Brandon Simpson on violin, David Keizer on bass guitar and Johnny Rojas on guitar. The group plans on releasing new music very soon as well as tons of music videos and other projects in the future! Come catch a live show and experience the magic of real desert rock.
