Mars or the Moon is giving, not only the music world but, the thinking world a glimpse into the mysteries and intricacies of love with their stellar debut album The Price of Love.
Mars or the Moon is the brainchild of musicians Joe Hart and Lani Williams. The duo began writing together before adding prolific percussionist Lenen Nicola.
Hart named their project after describing his musical experiences to a friend. His radio was his salvation that sounded like transmissions from another world like Mars…or the moon.
The group’s debut album is a hearty slice of Singer-Songwriter, Roots Rock, Psychedelic Folk Americana with a hint of Soul.
The trio is often joined on stage and in the studio by keyboardist Kevin Silva, bassist Roger Osburn and drummer Glen Hopkins.
“(their debut album), a gorgeous mix of harmony-drenched songs and rootsy numbers all inspired by the varied vagaries of love.”

"Disgrace"- It's like a Zepplinesque duel between Lani on vocals and Hart on electric guitar. This woman can sing."

“Cool song, has a Joni Mitchell "Blue" thing on it, but not derivative at all. Nice voice, that Lani.”
Branford Marsalis (Speaking about the song, Hold Back A River)
"The Light", Holy Cow! Lani Williams voice will nearly make you cry. Incredibly moving performance.
Chris A - www.hardrockhaven.net
“It’s a shame that Lani Williams isn’t a household name nationwide. Her harmonies are beautiful additions to already very good pop songs.”
