Opium Moon, Lili Haydn, Itai Disraeli, MB Gordy, Grammy winner, New Age, World Music, Israel, Iran, Canada, United States, violin

Lili Haydn, Itai Disraeli and MB Gordy of the Grammy Award winning band Opium Moon joined Mark and Nicole to talk about music and love

Lili was surprised when Mark told her she was cut out of the rerelease of the Tom Petty soundtrack she played on, about how sensual the indescribable music Opium Moon makes, so much so they almost titled their new album Dancing and F***ingĀ  and what it is like to be in a band for the first time in over 20 years, much less one that blends players and styles from all over the world and features her husband Itai

Itai described meeting Lili and bonding over a wah wah pedal, what the difference is between a fretless and fretted bass, how the band is a template for world peace as he was born in Israel and he plays with Iranian ducimer maestro Hamid Saedi and how he strutted down the aisle when the group won their Grammy for best New Age Album in 2019

MB talked about his vast and unusual collection of drums, sessions he has done for upcoming albums by Adele and Justin Beiber (!), hinted at what it was like to tour with the Doobie Brothers and what it is like to be in a band with a loving couple and the magic that comes from the 4 of them playing together

The new Opium Moon album Night and Day will be on sale and available to stream August 27th
