Jackie Moontan is a moon man, or so he claims.

​

Other claims include that he crash landed his spaceship into a Mississippi swamp

in the mid 70’s, that he was partially blinded by seeing Elvis perform in a glitzy

rhinestone suit in Las Vegas and that he taught James Brown how to do the funky

chicken, the last claim being highly questionable.

What’s an actual fact however is that he fell in love with this strange blue planet and

its strange blue inhabitants, and that he’s been traveling the world over writing songs about his encounters.

​

Jackie is known for his love of everything kitsch and for wearing satin shirts and

bright coloured suits on stage during his ‘Big Sexy Spectacular Moon Man Show

Extraordinaire’ - as he calls it. Whatever he does on stage, whether it be entering a

baptist church pastor like trance, howling, dancing or actually falling off stage.. you

never really know what you’re gonna get if you’re going to one of his shows.

​

In his songs Jackie reveals himself to be both a discreet observer and a fabulous

crooner, who tenderly relates his sometimes absurd and sometimes touching tales

in a colourful combination of pop, funk and soul music that is very much his own.
