The two-steppers, the line-dancers, the citified folk in their high-heeled boots: the Merchants of Moonshine make room for all. Expect good times, great guitar licks, and songs that’ll break your heart, fix it up, and then break it all over again.

The group’s songbook ranges from Hank Williams to Lucinda Williams — with a lot of Dwight, Willie, Toby, Brad, Garth, Merle, Dolly, Waylon, Tanya and dozens of others twanging in between. Add to it this local band’s original songs, and you’ve got the recipe for a two-steppin’, line-dancing mess of fun.

The band’s website explains their bandstand philosophy: “It took us, collectively, about six months to put our finger on the reason why club owners keep booking us and people keep coming back for more! Well it seems that experts have found our success can be broken down into three distinct areas - our set list, playing what we love, and lovin’ what we do.” Artist Website
