Me and the Moon

Me and The Moon is the culmination of Mitch Creasy’s lifelong relationship with music. Growing up in a musical family with his father, a jazz bassist, pianist, guitarist and vocalist, Mitch was indoctrinated at a very early age. Throughout his childhood, “Cre” picked up the trumpet, drums, guitar, and bass and, like his dad, loved creating his own music and, perhaps more importantly, paying attention to the subtleties of various artists, composers, and arrangements. Since high school, Creasy has been performing solo, been in a band, or fronted a band and working in radio that crisscrossed him from Lynchburg, VA, the Mississippi Delta, New Orleans, to Los Angeles, Tampa, and now back home in the Blueridge Mountains of Virginia.

Creasy, a.k.a. Me in Me and The Moon, has been composing, performing, and producing music for 30-plus years and has enjoyed regional and national success, most notably with his Tampa-based pop-ska band Wedgee. Voted Spin Magazine’s International Best Unsigned Band in 1998 and VH1’s Best Unsigned Band in 1999, Cre and his bandmates found themselves becoming a favorite opening act at huge act festivals and concerts for bands like Hootie & The Blowfish, Smash Mouth, the Barenaked Ladies, Third Eye Blind, The Goo Goo Dolls, and others.

Creasy’s appreciation of all genres of music has instilled a creative compilation in his musical mind that informs his own music with originality and confidence, knowing that the slightest changes in chord structure, percussion beats, sustained notes and vocal delivery can make all the difference. This knowledge could be the very reason he appeals so strongly to his audiences as he can read a room and then play what they want to hear.

Some of his favorite musicians and songwriters include Sting, Bob Marley, McCartney, Daryl Hall, John Mayer, Prince, Victor Wooten and Count Basie. Creasy has far too many “favorite songs” to list but if his album collection is any indication, he enjoys and appreciates it all, from old rock, R&B, funk, Americana, ska, pop, country and yes, even jazz.
