Gary began his musical career at age 11 playing trumpet and guitar. After playing with several bands throughout his early career, his real passion as a songwriter emerged. His unique keyboard playing style began to unfold during this period. The music that he creates springs from the mixture of beauty and passion that grows deep inside. Gary composes many of the uplifting Moon Rooster songs including 'Live Your Tomorrow Today', 'Fame Fifteen Minutes', 'Crystal Ball', 'Dance in Snowflakes'.

Terry started his musical career banging out chopsticks with his mother on the piano when he was 6 years old. He learned piano at age 11, insisting his piano teachers teach him 'pop', rather than the traditional classic style. Terry loved Bach, however Burt Bacharach much more! He also played alto, tenor and baritone saxophone in bands during his early career. Terry writes most of the lyrics to Moon Rooster's original compositions ..."Listen for the message in the song that addresses your life!" Terry also writes music to many Moon Rooster tunes including 'Fire in Your Hair', 'Magic of the Night' and 'Godzilla'.

Rebecca is Moon Rooster's sensational lead vocalist. Over the years developed and maintains an extensive personal lyrical lexicon. Rebecca was an accomplished youth clarinetist and aspires to expand her talents both vocally and through other instruments, including and not limited to guitar band drums! Just having fun, Rebecca is enjoying the challenge of the advanced composition style of the Cooley brothers. Her lyrical assistance to the bands very original tunes reach deep into the well of emotions as evident in 'Fame Fifteen Minutes'.
