Maybe Sunshine is a new studio mini-album with a new sound. Inspired by world travel and shot through with optimism, these songs have an energetic and muscular feel to them, with lots of layers to reward repeated listenings. New songs here include Sara (about a girl from El Salvador that became Jacob's sponsor child), End of the Road (a cup of courage for hope-starved), All things Old ( a first-take, live-in-studio acoustic gem), and Children of the World (a prayer for the world of the child; an anthem for change). Required listening for Jacob Moon fans, this record marks the beginning of a creative renaissance, and is compelling proof of the 'less is more' theory.

   

A new live album for a new era. This one was recorded at a variety of venues around Ontario and across Canada. New songs here include 'The Great Beyond' (winner of the Great Lakes Song Contest), 'Not Gonna Lose', and 'I'm Sorry'. Ambitious covers such as 'Subdivisions' by Rush, 'Come Talk to Me' by Peter Gabriel and 'Esperanto' by Kurt Elling all reveal Moon's knack for re-interpretation and dynamic delivery. You won't believe what one man and his guitar can do.

   

Winner of 2008's Covenant Award for best seasonal album, this one is a true gem. 10 carefully selected Christmas songs and one new composition make up this graceful and elegant CD, which has an appropriate sense of whimsy and wonder to it. Jacob even tries his hand at arranging the string section on this one, with breathtaking results on 'In the Bleak Midwinter' and 'I Saw Three Ships". The lasting feeling you get is warm, inviting and peaceful...like coming home.

   

The follow-up to Landing, recorded in the spot where that magic took place, at Catherine North. Instead of trying to get lighning to strike again, Moon and his musical co-conspiritors took to bringing a whole new song cycle to life with a variety of ensembles. Strings, woodwinds, brass, and a tasteful band come together to support Jacob and his acoustic guitar on this organic collection of new classics. Covers include songs by Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris and Sam Cooke.

   

Jacob goes solo...live! This is the ground floor of Jacob's solo performance venture; where it all began. Just a man and his guitar, and a few heavenly voices to back him up, here and there. Virtually the entire CD was recorded on one night in May 2002 at Catherine North Recording Studio, and all of it live and untouched. The result is a raw, emotional journey through pain, heartbreak, and coming through the other side into hope and healing. The applause of this capacity crowd will make you wish you had been there.

   

Written after a trip to Haiti, this studio recording features songs inspired by third world travel (Dependance, One Tragedy Away, the title track). It's full of great sounds and moving songs, and reflects the growth of a young artist making sense of his surroundings and trying to find his place in them. Mike Janzen adds piano and string arrangements, bringing a layer of class and flair to the proceedings. Terrific ensemble playing on this one, with many special guests from the Hamilton music scene.

   

Jacob's first official CD was made in Hamilton in 1998, with a cast of Hamilton heroes, and a list of songs he wrote during those first 3 years of living in the Steel City. Highlights include 'No one Looks Up", "Lights Out"(a Unisong Song Contest Winner) and "Leaving", featuring the slide guitar of Jamie Oakes and the ghostly vocals of Lisa Winn.
