Luna Halo started out in the CCM market. The band was founded by frontman Nathan Barlowe and Jonny MacIntosh (both of Reality Check fame), with Jonathan Smith a.k.a. TheRealJonSmith, later joined by Brad Minor. They had some success in the CCM market with their debut album Shimmer in 2000. During and after touring Shimmer the band changed members several times and found stable membership again in 2002 with Nathan Barlowe, his brother Cary Barlowe, Aaron Jenkins and Chris Coleman. They moved away from the CCM scene, went mainstream and released a couple of EPs. In 2007 they finally released their sophomore (and last) album. In 2010 their final single was released in digital format only. A collection of demos and b-sides was released in 2012 to coincide with their final performance.
