Blue Moon Swamp
Musicians
Dan McGuinness Dan@BlueMoonSwamp.com
To call Dan McGuinness a singer is an understatement. Dan’s voice harkens a listener’s memory back to a time when Blue Eyed Soul ruled the radio. Full and powerful, Dan’s voice can go from edgy and rough to soft and delicate in an instant. His incredible range and perfect pitch are complimented by his expert technique and his soft touch. In constant demand not only as a singer but as a voice over specialist, announcer and sports radio broadcaster, Dan is no longer Chicago’s best kept secret.
For Dan McGuinness, Blue Moon Swamp is something very close to his heart. A childhood fan of John Fogerty and CCR, Dan grew up listening to every album and bootleg he could get his hands on. His interpretation and delivery of the songs are right on the mark and he consistently wows audiences with his performance. Whatever the song, old or new, Dan McGuinness’ voice takes you by the hand and leads you to the core of the John Fogerty/CCR musical journey.
Steve Ramone Steve@BlueMoonSwamp.com
Although he plays bass for Blue Moon Swamp, Steve Ramone is sought after as a lead singer, guitar player and songwriter in his hometown of Chicago. He has worn many hats as a musician and has opened for rock acts such as The Gin Blossoms , Fastball and Jimmy Eat World as well as country acts like Montgomery Gentry and Johnny Paycheck . Highly regarded for his on stage presence, Steve is a consistent hit with live audiences.
Steve and drummer Bo Pallisard have been playing in bands together for over ten years. Together they create a rhythm section that is tight but leaves plenty of room to groove.

Bo Pallisard Bo@BlueMoonSwamp.com
Bo Pallisard has been a first call drummer on a national level for over twenty years. Known as a versatile “pocket” drummer, Bo performs over 150 shows annually, and has shared the stage with acts such as Cheap Trick , Survivor , The Turtles and Eddie Money to name a few. Bo has also recorded with internationally known Chicago artists Enuff Z’nuff and can be heard on their CD titled “1985”. Considered one of the best singing drummers in the country, Bo has sung on many big budget advertising campaigns for TV and radio, as well as dozens of original CD projects.
Bo was brought into the Blue Moon Swamp fold by Dan McGuinness. Dan felt that Bo was the drummer who could bring a sense of continuity to the project and provide an alternative to the revolving door of musicians that plagued earlier projects. “Dan’s an incredible talent” says Bo. “All these guys are stars in their own right and I jumped at the chance to be a part of this project”.
Pat Keiner Pat@BlueMoonSwamp.com
Hailing from Chicago’s South Side, Pat Keiner cut his musical teeth at an early age playing guitar with some of the best known local acts such as Seven Day Run and Gigglewater. Today he is a much sought after session/live performer because of his unique ability to contribute to any musical style at a high level. Though simple and to the point, Pats’ playing is elegant and sophisticated in its delivery, endearing him to musicians and fans alike.
In Blue Moon Swamp, Pat has found an avenue that allows him to stretch out and showcase his ability not only as a guitarist, but as a mandolin and lap steel player. Also an important part of the bands’ vocal sound, Pat Keiner is one of those musicians whose talent shines through so clearly that audiences have a hard time taking their eyes and ears off of him.
