Audio Moonshine - rock, AmericanaAudio Moonshine plays Rock music with a new Northwest vibe, with a hint of folk/soul/country for fun. Although they are a new band, the experience is quite the opposite. For the last 15 years all the members played in a variety of bands in the same small town of Boise, Idaho. Finally they put all their potatoes into one sack (Idaho Joke), and formed Audio Moonshine. They have fun when they play and love what they do.
Opening, Jerry Johnson and the Jack Pines. Their debut is made of songs that chart out the corners of El Paso motel rooms, warm summers and the mind of a last-chance rock-n-roller; songs about jumping the rails and getting back on; little sparks that stir the dust of an old window sill or a still older country road, make it take shape and dance.

Their brand of rock is from the soul, and the songs they write are full of heartfelt angst without the doom and gloom.

Cary Judd - rock, popCary Judd undoubtedly redefines the one-man-show. Deceptively understated as just a man and a guitar, what you see is not all you get.
