Bio

Est – 2016

The Hillbilly Moonshiners are a modern bluegrass band known for reimagining today’s hits and timeless classics with a hearty dose of Southern flair. These six rowdy musicians transform your favorite radio tunes into foot-stomping, banjo-pickin’ anthems straight from the Louisiana bayou. Get ready for a wild ride, y’all!

Whether you’re reliving classics from Blink-182, Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, and AC/DC, or partying to chart-toppers by Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Drake, The Hillbilly Moonshiners deliver it all with a unique twist. So, grab a jar of that homemade moonshine (the kind that made cousin Wade go cross-eyed!) and get ready to dance like it’s the Summer of ’69!

As of 2014, The Hillbilly Moonshiners have rocked over 600 venues across 10 years! Their high-energy performances have lit up bars, theatres, and festivals throughout the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands. They’ve shared the stage with renowned acts like Dropkick Murphys, Kasabian, Kensington, and Suzan & Freek, and have played at iconic festivals including the Veszprém and Sziget festivals in Hungary.
