Welcome to More Moose Music Services.
I'm the owner, Mark Ungar. I'm an actor, multi-instrumentalist musician, composer, performer, writer, and web designer.

MUSIC - check the Performance Schedule column on the right, where you can always find out where I'm performing next.

AXIS OF BLUES - an amalgam of rock, r 'n' b, folk & funk, all rotating around an axis of blues. Axis of Blues’ goals are simple. To groove you. To make your liver quiver, and your backbone slip. Excuse us, but we got the boogie in us, and it got to come out!

AVALON RISING - I play bass, mandocello and other instruments with progressive celtic/medieval rock band Avalon Rising, currently in the 13th year of our greater Bay Area tour. We're available for festivals, weddings, and pagan ritual events. Our repertoire ranges from acoustic folk sounds to Irish music to raving psychedelic electric guitar.Our mission: let the spirit of Avalon rise and spread throughout the world!

THE VEIL - I'm also a member of The Veil, whose album Sophia Speaks is an ecstatic odyssey of Celto-Middle-Eastern song and story.

PHOENYX - the lost legendary Keepers of the Flame, plus a rare live track...

WEB DESIGN - capable and affordable web design - I've been creating web sites since 1995. Check out some of my designs.

Why Moose? Once upon a time, I dreamed I was raising a baby moose...and when you get right down to it, don't we all need more moose?

Mark Ungar

Hi folks! This is the place to catch up on what Mark Ungar and More Moose Music Services is doing! Look to the right for upcoming shows.

Axis of Blues is gaining velocity in 2010, with a new set of live tracks from our recent show at The Bistro, back in October. Bagpiper and multi-instrumentalist Sean Folsom sat in with us. I selected the best tracks and assembled them into a streaming audio show, available here. Simply click on the Axis of Blues folder on the left side of the page. You can also listen via MP3s of each song at the Axis of Blues website, on the Sounds page.

December 2009 - Axis of Blues is developing new material, including 3 original songs:

Cheap Date - an anthropological song, dealing with Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon, and other species that may have had dealings with Homo Sapiens;
Everything's Groovy (the Axis of Blues Theme)
Guitars That Got Away - a paean to G.A.S. (Guitar Aquisition Syndrome -a country talking blues

Check with our site at AxisofBlues.com

Don't forget Avalon Rising, the San Francisco Bay Area's premier progressive Celtic/Medieval rock band!

We promised Scott a beer, but he still couldn't make it to this show. So Mark, Robert, and Kristoph will be an "acoustic" trio, sans drummer. We'll be phoning it in as usual, but we especially need your help for this unusual gig. How can I help, you ask? Simply by coming and drinking as much beer, a delicious selection of which The Bistro has in abundance, as possible. This will enable us to sound much better, especially to you. Thanks for your cooperation.
