Moon Taxi is an American indie-progressive rock band based in Nashville, Tennessee. The band was founded in 2006 by Trevor Terndrup (vocals, guitar), Tommy Putnam (bass), Spencer Thomson (guitar, programming), Tyler Ritter (drums), and Wes Bailey (keys) while attending Belmont University.
On October 2, 2015, Moon Taxi released its fourth studio effort, Daybreaker, on the band's label, 12th South Records via BMG. The album features 11 unreleased tracks recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, and was produced by Grammy-winner, Jacquire King.
Moon Taxi appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan (talk show), and most recently Late Night with Seth Myers
The band is included on the Coachella, Hangout, Forecastle, Beale Street Music Festival Lockn' festival and Firefly music festivals in 2016.
Trevor Terndrup and Tommy Putnam attended high school together in Vestavia Hills, a suburb of Birmingham, AL, and played in a bluesy rock group known as Apex during their junior and senior years. Upon graduation in 2002, the two moved to Nashville, TN where they met fellow student and guitarist Spencer Thomson, and drummer David Swan, shortly following their arrival at Belmont. Together with Thomson, a native of Bowling Green, KY, and Swan (of Atlanta, GA) the Quartet began jamming in freshman dorm rooms, quickly landing a gig as the backing band for local rap duo. In the school years following, the group performed sparsely around Nashville and in college towns around the Southeast under the name Moon Taxi.
