The Hillbilly Moonshiners will be organizing a band night at Café de Harmonie in the Dutch town of Weert on Saturday October 15th. Local bands from the municipalities of Weert, Nederweert, and Cranendonck can sign up to get a spot on stage during this night, and also to compete to become one of the support acts during The Hillbilly Moonshiners’ final show of the year on December 3rd at Muziekcentrum De Bosuil.
“It’s often tough for young bands to organize gigs themselves,” Sammy Stonewasher of The Hillbilly Moonshiners says. “When I was a fifteen-year-kid, I would spend nights on end calling venues and music festivals to get them to book a gig for us. We try to help out new bands through this initiative.”
Eager bands can sign up for the band night from next Thursday September 22nd till Saturday October 1st by sending an email to sander@southerntunes.nl. Subsequently, The Hillbilly Moonshiners will select three acts who will audition at Café de Harmonie on Saturday October 15th. The one act that wins that night’s crowd is going to perform during The Hillbilly Moonshiners & Friends at Muziekcentrum De Bosuil in Weert, NL.
