Description

Moonsville Collective, The Po' Ramblin' Boys The Wayfarer Presents Ages 21+ Moonsville Collective The Po' Ramblin' Boys Moonville Collective, The Po' Ramblin' Boys at The Wayfarer Moonsville Collective is a Southern California folk band that writes songs about the terrain of their own stories and lives. During an age of short attention spans and speedy business, the band draws their inspiration from a simple well and holds firm to the truth that good songs can carry people through the best of, and the worst of times. Ten years in, the band has ebbed and flowed through the various sounds of the Americana Genre, releasing three full length records on Nashville’s Rock Ridge Music (2013 - 2015), as well as self releasing EP’s Moonsville I-V (2018), showcasing their ability to weave in and out of a more electric, folk rock sound. After years of playing some 500+ shows and some lineup changes, Moonsville found themselves in a period of rediscovery, finding their way back to their string band roots that have always defined the undertone of their song writing. With a new full length album in the works, Moonsville looks to venture into the next decade a bit more seasoned and ready to reestablish themselves as a premier act in the Americana community. In 2021, Moonsville was invited to perform at the American Music Awards Festival, as well as open for chart topping Cordovas band on their Winter Western Wail Tour. The new year will see the band supporting critically acclaimed Susto on a majority of their west coast dates, and settle in to release the first full length album in 4 years. Moonsville Collective was named best live band by OC Weekly in 2012. Best Bluegrass/Americana Band by CBS LA (2013) and Best Country Americans Band by OC Music Awards (2013). The band has shared festival lineups with Tom Petty and Jackson Brown, sharing direct stages with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, White Buffalo, Willie Watson (OCMS), Aoife O'donovan and Sara & Sean Watkins (Nickle Creek). At a time when most people feel constantly distracted by technology and barraged by the news, authenticity and straightforward honesty are paramount. There’s something about the music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in the Smoky Mountains, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit. No strangers to hard work, the boys are as much at home riding in their 1965 GM Tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, with stunning results.
