about
Only in New Orleans could a band like the Moonshiners come into being – a group of dedicated young musicians with one goal in mind: carrying on and building upon the tradition of New Orleans jazz. With a lineup of trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, trombone, banjo, upright bass, and drums, the New Orleans Moonshiners are as comfortable wailing a second-line parade down the street as they are charming a festival audience with classic Ellington arrangements. Playing songs from the likes of Louis Armstrong, WC Handy, and Sidney Bechet, as well as many exciting originals, this tight-knit unit of twenty-somethings plays packed festivals, dance halls, and clubs where they draw an enthusiastic following of swing dancers, music fans, and fellow musicians alike. These New Orleanians add a creative new energy to their native traditional jazz, whipping up a never-before-heard gumbo of music that is flamboyantly entertaining and toe-tappingly good.
