About

Half Moon Run on Tour

Since the release of their 2012 debut album, Dark Eyes, Montreal indie-rock quartet Half Moon Run have developed a reputation as one of Canada's most mesmerizing live bands. Not only does the group feature four equally versatile multi-instrumentalists — resulting in copious onstage role-swapping — each member is blessed with an angelic voice that contributes to their spine-tingling, church-worthy harmonies. Half Moon Run are the sort of singular band that possess the wiry intensity to rock a small club, the anthemic grandeur to captivate festival crowds and the sophisticated arrangements to enhance the soft-seater theater experience. And to properly recreate their signature songs in a live setting, the band employ two drum sets, ensuring that each show builds into a heart-racing, percussion-pounding spectacle.

Half Moon Run in Concert

Formed in Montreal in 2010, Half Moon Run quickly sprinted to the frontlines of that city's fabled indie-rock scene. On their arresting debut single, "Full Circle," the group effortlessly forged a sound that was both rustic and grandiose, incorporating the forest-squatting harmonies of Fleet Foxes, the emotional intensity of Bon Iver and the disquieting atmospherics of Radiohead into its widescreen expanse. That song would help propel their first record, 2012's Dark Days, to platinum status in Canada, and into the charts in several European countries. After touring with indie heavyweights like Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters and Men, and City and Colour, the group returned with 2015's Sun Leads Me On, which entered the Top 5 on the Canadian Billboard albums chart, earning them a Juno nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year. (And thanks to anthemic singles like "Turn Your Love," the band also made significant inroads into the U.S., with the album cracking the Top 10 on Billboard Heatseekers chart.) But with their third album, A Blemish in the Great Light, Half Moon Run pivot away from their roots-rock foundation to bring their artier instincts to the fore.

  • Excellent concert!! 5 Star!!!

    by MONKEY on 2023-11-29Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 5 out of 5

    This was one of the best concerts we both have seen so far ever!! The venue was at The commons theater at Algonquin College. They were very organized letting the fans in for bar set up with drinks and answering all questions from fans about seating etc. The acoustics, lighting , stage set up and the unbelievable talent of Half Moon Run was over the top. They also added 3 violin players and a bass cello quartet to the show for quite a few of their songs. They were all excellent players as well!! Would defiantly see this band again and if you haven't seen them preform live you will have to see them in the future for sure!!!!!!!!LOVED IT!!!!!!!!

  • Awesomeness

    by Izzy on 2023-11-29Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 5 out of 5

    Beautiful melodies, voices, and musicians. What a talented trio…and the strings. Wow!

  • 6 out 5

    by Silo on 2023-11-29Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 5 out of 5

    This was the last show of their European/North American tour. It met all my expectations ! Half Moon Run is an extremely talented band, exceptional instrument players, great harmonies, topped up with really sincere enthusiasm. The venue was comfortable, clean, unattractive.. First class lighting and sound.

  • Good show even with the travel fatigue

    by SeanF on 2023-11-29Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 4 out of 5

    Good show, very entertaining! Very good selection of songs. Enjoyed the opening act. The HMR guys seemed a bit tired from the road. Hope you get some rest 😊

  • Half Moon Run, every time AMAZING!

    by Michel C on 2023-11-29Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 5 out of 5

    As always, excellent show. And specialy the complicity with Devon Portielje (the singer) and the audience. In his own city. The guys are amazing composers, and great musicians. We LOVE their music. And we had the chance to met Conner Molander in a store in Ottawa, the next way of the show. He was really kind to talk with us. Thanks!

  • Great show and venue

    by TBA on 2023-11-28Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 4 out of 5

    Show and venue were great. Just wish the “sell” feature would have been turned on.

  • Always an amazing time

    by Redstone on 2023-11-28Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 5 out of 5

    This is my 3rd time seeing HMR live & in person. They always serve up an amazing experience. You know how there are just some bands that draw you in and takes you on a musical journey? This is one of those bands.

  • An absolutely amazing performance!!!

    by Wissy on 2023-11-28Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 5 out of 5

    This band was soo good to see live. Full of energy and the interaction between them was fun. Harmonizing was superb and their energy was all there. Loved the show!!

  • Great show! “Electric”

    by Liam on 2023-11-28Algonquin Commons Theatre - NepeanRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show, a friend unfamiliar with the band described it as “electric”. The venue was very nice but was in the middle of nowhere with limited transit options.

  • Disappointed

    by D For Disappointed on 2023-11-27History - TorontoRating: 2 out of 5

    The band was great and sounded amazing. However, they did not play their most popular songs (Then Again and Turn Your Love). If I had know that with the departure of Isaac they would not play these songs I would not have purchased my tickets. Very disappointed fan.

  • Great Live Set!

    by CK on 2023-11-27History - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Incredible performance! Their new Salt album sounds beautiful live with the amplified sound. Intricate work on the instrumentals. Looking forward to seeing them again.

  • Amazing.

    by utopian-dreams on 2023-11-27London Music Hall - LONDONRating: 5 out of 5

    The guys were amazing to watch, a truly incredible show, 10/10. They sounded just like they do in their studio recordings. Can't wait to see them again the next time around.

  • Totally amazing!!

    by BossLady on 2023-11-26History - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    This was the first time I have seen this band! I was over the top impressed and will see them again! I brought two girlfriends who also thought that the venue and sound of the band was very impressive. I am looking forward to more new songs by Half Moon Run and more concert dates! Thanks for an incredible experience!!

  • Mind blowingly great concert!

    by Phil n Deb on 2023-11-26History - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Half Moon Run just keeps getting better (even with the loss of one of their founding members)! The concert that we recently attended in Toronto (at the great new venue called “History”) was so musically rich, and the Half Moon Run band members (and the fabulous women string quartet that backs them) were so joyfully engaged with the audience and immersed in their performance that the evening was an absolute musical and performance delight. The sound mix was extraordinary (Hats off to the sound mixers!). The crowd was so into the top notch rock n roll, multi-instrumental genius, and tight harmonies performance that Half Moon Run was giving, that the applause and screaming and whistling was deafening between many of the songs. There was extensive coverage of their latest and probably best album yet, titled “Salt.” Can’t say enough about Half Moon Run. They are under-recognized, and unknown to many, and that is ridiculous. The only plus that is associated with their under-recognition is the joy that we fans get in seeing them in relatively intimate venues (e.g. we’ve seen them in small clubs with only a few hundred people to some moderate sized 2000 person venues). They deserve, and more people need to get to know, the musical delights of Half Moon Run.

  • awesome show

    by mm on 2023-11-26History - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I have followed Half Moon Run since their early days and they never disappoint. A great show in a great venue. Loved it!

  • Amazing

    by Best show ever on 2023-11-26History - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    What a fantastic show. The guys were so talented and had me smiling the whole time. Wish they would come back again!!!

  • Magical

    by Cindy on 2023-11-26London Music Hall - LONDONRating: 5 out of 5

    My favourite concert to date. Amazing band, incredible music, wonderful performance. In love.

  • Amazing!!

    by Britney on 2023-11-24London Music Hall - LONDONRating: 5 out of 5

    Second time seeing them live and they just keep getting better!! Vocals and live music sound just like the studio version, if not better. Billie Marten opened for HMR and she was amazing too.

  • Amazing as always!

    by Courtneyislost on 2023-11-24London Music Hall - LONDONRating: 5 out of 5

    This is my 3rd time seeing half moon run and it just keeps getting better. Love this band so much. This music heals.

  • Consummate Musicianship and Strong Material

    by Charles on 2023-11-24London Music Hall - LONDONRating: 5 out of 5

    I was familiar with some of Half Moon Run's material from radio, YouTube, and family members, and I was aware that all band members are multi-instrumentalists and sometimes play more than one instrument at a time, e.g., the drummer on drum kit and keys. There was no doubt in my mind that the concert would be worthwhile, yet it exceeded even my high expectations. There was not a single weak song in the set, and this despite the absence of a handful of favourite tunes from the band. The playing was professional and accomplished, exuberant and inspired, and the guys onstage appeared to be enjoying themselves thoroughly – perhaps less so the drummer, which is understandable given the multiple demands on his talent. The lead singer's voice was strong throughout. I attended the concert with my son, and we were both amazed at the musicianship. The show in London, Ontario, was well worth the slow drive from Kitchener, there and back, in teeming rain. I look forward to seeing them again. Oh, and the venue was great, especially as we were able to upgrade our tickets on arrival.
