Cindy Allen, singer-songwriter and firestarter at the front of Moon Writers, is a genre-bender at heart. Cindy writes across rock, blues, country, and folk, stitching together sounds like a patchwork quilt of grit, grace, soul, and storytelling. Onstage, she's part preacher, part troublemaker, and all heart—proof that you can be soulful, genre-fluid, and just a little unhinged, all at once.
Bill Irish is the lead guitarist for Moon Writers, delivering soaring solos, gritty riffs, and melodic hooks that carve out a sound uniquely his own, creating dimension in the original music they play. Whether ripping through high-octane leads or crafting subtle textures, Bill brings both fire and finesse to every performance, making him a standout force.
Rolf Diek is the low-end backbone of Moon Writers, anchoring the band’s sound with a feel that keeps everything locked in place. Rolf bridges melody and rhythm, bringing depth and soul to every performance. Whether laying down a funky line or holding steady in a heavy groove, Rolf is the glue that holds the music together. He's also the sound/equipment manager. To Rolf, tone isn’t just a setting—it’s a full-time job, a philosophical stance, and the reason he travels with more cables than clothes.
Jenn Player is the powerhouse behind the kit for Moon Writers, driving the band’s sound with raw energy, precision, and an unmistakable groove. With a style rooted in flexibility, Jenn blends technical skill with musical intuition, laying down rhythms that are both complex and soul-stirring. Whether it’s a thunderous solo or a subtle shuffle, Jenn brings every beat to life, and she looks cool doing it.
Together, this group of creative musicians make up the band, Moon Writers 🌙
