Events

This has been one of our most asked about shows since we started scheduling music after the Pandemic.

Gilberty Lee Cochrum will be opening for his friends and cocreators in the Enablers.  Gibb will be putting on an hour of beautiful acoustic guitar and singing, dabbling from his extensive collection of original music and covers.   Best known for his current project, Gilbert Lee and the Ghost on the Radio, he has been a major contributer to the areas music scene for years.

Gina Powell Larkin and the Enablers:   What can be said?   Gina is one of the names that has repeatedly come up since I started booking for MoonShadow. “When will Gina be here?  Is Gina and the enablers going to come to MoonShadow??”

This will be a reunion a long time in the making. Performing original songs, mostly following the style of British invasion/Motown/90’s indie/alternative rock, this will be a high energy and jaw dropping performance by some of the areas most beloved musicians.

Theresa and crew return to play you all the classics that make for a memorable night.   With a voice that calls back to the days of Fleetwood Mac and the classic female vocalists of the 70s-90s and a band that blends the original material with a smattering of their own influences, these guys never disappoint.   Fun and friendly, all of our patrons rave over how great these guys make you feel by the end of the night.

A night of Hip Hop and Funk at MoonShadow.   This fourth of July we thought we would let it ALL hang out with our first hip hop show we have ever hosted along with our familiar favorites JOE KEYES AND THE LATE BLOOMER BAND.  Starting off the night at 9pm is our very own in house hip hop star WyteOut.  WyteOut (David Harbert) is one of our beloved staff members here at the Moon and this will be his debut on our little stage.  After opening for numerous national touring hip hop and rap acts over the last few years, WyteOut finally plays his home stage.  Then at 10pm we have the one and only Joe Keyes and the Late Bloomer Band.  The Bloomers are one of our absolute favorite bands at the Moon, come and see why!   A 9 piece band witha full horn section out of the Baltimore area playing loud and proud on the 4th of July weekend means only one thing…… ITS GONNA GET FUNKY AT THE MOON.

Tom and Pappy are an amazingly professional duo that takes old country and alt/country as its roots and blends acoustic appalachian folk tones into a show that will keep you clapping and talking long after you finish your meal.  Appalachian country music and some of the best food on the lake make for a night to be remembered.

July 15th MoonShadow is going to ROCK!   Be prepared for a show that will blow you away…..

The Hounded:

Matt sings of love, loss, and Appalachia. The title track, “Never Knew Blue,” lands on a homecoming: “I never knew blue till I packed up and left her, and followed those blue ridges home.”  Appalachian Maryland can be fickle to win over with music. Playing original music that isn’t bluegrass is a risk, but as Matt’s brassy voice cuts into the audience’s hearts, Derek balances blues and country in his guitar leads. Sam’s calming demeanor anchors the group, as he peacefully slides up and down his bass, and Matt O’Reilly, nicknamed “Mono” due to being deaf in one ear, hits the beat hard and steady.

The Redlines:

Hailing from just north of Pittsburgh, PA, The Redlines have taken personal influences and past experience to create their own distinct blend of classic rock & roll with hints of 60’s soul, 70’s punk, and 80’s heartland rock mixed with a touch of power-pop and garage rock. Led by singer and guitarist, Brian Seese, the band has continued to write, record, and perform throughout the region for nearly a decade.The band is rounded out by second guitarist and occasional vocalist, Jason Lizzi, whose blistering solos and melodic leads often occupy the spotlight while the formidable rhythm section of Tony Vinski (bass) and Sandro Campagna (drums) create a rich and full foundation for each song.This signature sound is on display on Kick Out Today (released April 22,2022), the first part of an eventual two-EP album in which the band decided to let loose and inject their sense of fun into the music and lyrics all while using the various permutations of garage rock as the canvas.

In a word, Bob Keel is real. He writes what he sees. It is pure and from the heart. He’s writes of love like it was just discovered yesterday and his songs have a way of penetrating down to your very soul. Bob’s dynamic performance is bound to make you laugh, cry, sway in your seat, or maybe even dance on the table. His sound is informed by such greats as Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Bob Dylan, Jack Johnson, Bob Marley, and The Avett Brothers. Bob is a story teller for those in need of tale.

Wild Whispers is a harmony-driven cinematic pop duo formed by Eli Lev and Megan Leigh.

After various solo ventures and a cross-country tour in 2019, the pair came back to Western Maryland and began writing songs for a trilogy music project. Their first single, Icarus Rising, is scheduled for release in September of 2020.

Produced in Nashville, TN, Icarus Rising features strong male / female vocals and a full, ethereal sound. With catchy melodies, unexpected harmonies, and thoughtful lyrics, the song has mainstream appeal but utilizes unique arrangements that push the sonic envelope.

It is the debut release from the newly formed group and will be followed by two more singles in 2021 to form a trilogy based on the Greek myth of Icarus’s journey to the sun.

Building on a breakout Tiny Desk Contest video submission, Wild Whispers began releasing live performance videos of their original music on YouTube.

With rare live appearances in their first year of formation, Wild Whispers are building their worldwide community online and via private invitation-only live shows.

Erin Incoherent‘s music comes straight out of the punk-rock world, though it maybe has drifted also into the folk-punk genre. Whatever the name, whatever the genre, the music is beautiful, the lyrics are moving, and Erin is, herself, a vibrant, deep soul and wonderful songwriter. With songs that capture pain & dysfunction, but also insight & healing, Erin leads the way to a more conscious & compassionate world. Erin’s latest release, Déjà Vu emerged as Erin was finding grounding through meditation and conscious living. Check out Erin’s main site & store for more info & supplies.

One of the most beautiful and professional musicians you will EVER see in McHenry, MD.   This will be a classical piano brunch that will blow you away with its exemplary demonstration of what a pianist can achieve as a musician.  A world class artist, Andre does an occasional performance for us here at MoonShadow when he isnt too busy performing at national embassies, across the globe at packed music halls and congregations that are lucky enough to host him.

While drawing comparisons to bands like the “War on Drugs” and “The Paper Kites”, the alternative/rock duo’s emotive sound is uniquely their own. The band emerged in 2018 with their first single “1984” causing instant buzz with tastemakers and followed with a stellar debut EP entitled “Vol. 1” in 2019. These early releases drew praise from industry standouts such as LANY and Noah Gundersen which spurred the band to embark on their first national tour in 2019 with Vacation Manor, playing the major cities down the US east coast.

Powered by their first national tour and early releases, the band began to grow organically, finding resonance through their late-night, timeless sounds with fans both in the US and internationally. Upon seeing the undeniable growth of a true fan base, the independent duo spent the following year writing and recording their debut album with producer Nick Box in a lake house turned studio. They continued to evolve sonically throughout the recording of the album, and ended up with a record that they believe will stand the test of time. The first single from the album, “I Still Love You”, captured the attention of listeners globally as it amassed over 2.5 million views over a few short months and expanded their listener base to 50,000+ YouTube subscribers and 20,000+ Spotify followers.  NIGHT TRAVELER released its complete debut album “Dreams You Don’t Forget” in April of 2021 to a reception that they themselves hadn’t anticipated. Their increasingly steady growth of deep listeners shows that the future is bright for this band from Austin, Texas. The classic melodies, guitar forward production, and nostalgic feel to their songs make listeners feel like they’ve been listening to NIGHT TRAVELER forever.
