New Jersey-based band Mirrors On The Moon’s dual single, “Wild Love / California,” has recently been released. The songs were written and produced by frontman Donny Dykowsky and mastered by Grammy-nominated Joe Lambert (Mt. Joy, Sharon Van Etton, Black Crowes). It’s accompanied by a video for “Wild Love”.

“Wild Love,” has lyrics that place the listener on a road trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The accompanying video “tells the story of two young women on a cross-country road trip at golden hour.”

Donny Dykowsky comments:

This song is actually the story of a Summer road trip down South. Riding horses with my family in Asheville and camping in the Smoky Mountains on our way to Nashville. Once I got home, the song pretty much wrote itself. 

“Wild Love” was recorded and mixed at Dykowsky’s production studio, The Ski Team, where he Produces music and sound for brands and film.

“California” begins as an acoustic Blues song inspired by Colter Wall and Zeppelin III and touches on the feelings of love and regret.

Dykowsky adds about “California”:

What’s crazy is that I just wrote this song last month and here we are releasing it. I feel that sense of urgency is a good habit to get into.

“Wild Love / California” is the follow-up to MOTM’s 2023 debut EP, Whisky & Wine. Mirrors On The Moon features Donny Dykowsky on vocals/guitars, Freddy Pastore on bass (Chesterwhite), John Hummel on drums (Lady Gaga, Get The Led Out), Dave Archer on keys (UNI and the Urchins), and Emily McMahon (Colorjoy) on backing vocals for their live shows. 

Mirrors on the Moon will perform live on Sunday, September 22nd, 2024 at 118 North in Wayne, PA with Rob Leines and Ellis Bullard.  The band will continue to play select dates throughout 2024.
