On top of that you will hear anything from banjo- mandolin to banjo- guitar and maybe even a little kazoo.

Moonshine Rhythm Club
9pm - $5 coverMoonshine Rhythm Club - Website Facebook Twitter Instagram
Moonshine Rhythm Club brings old-school swing and jazz to life with joyful arrangements and energetic playing that makes this vintage music sound like it was written this morning. The boys seek out deep cuts from the 30s and 40s, take their favorite parts from classic big band recordings, and distill them into their signature sound. That sound draws on the guitar-driven, acoustic fire of gypsy jazz, as well as the slow burn and laid-back groove of later artists like Count Basie and Nat “King” Cole. On top of this lays classy and hip vocals with a lighthearted humor.

At any rate, these Alabama boys and girls have revived a sound that could have easily been lost with the memories of those who enjoyed true southern folk music, which was played by bands made up of true artists.
