Moonshine infused country-blues string band, inspired by classics like Johnny Cash and modern day bands like 16 Horsepower and Old Crow Medicine Show. Experience the 'Southern Spirit', emerge like hillbilly’s enjoying their share of white lightening. Moonshine Brigade is pure, pleasantly unpolished and, as befits a true moonshiner, very headstrong.

Reviews

“Moonshine Brigade plays raw roots music like no other. Been a fan of their music for years. Grab a cold one, sit outside, and enjoy. This moonshine goes down nice and easy! Favorite track: Storm.”
“Raw and unaffected. That is the music of Moonshine Brigade, a quartet of wild men from the city of Den Bosch. With an instrumentation consisting of guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass and drums, the gentlemen enter the still not entirely unexplored land of illustrious kindred spirits such as 16 Horsepower, Amigo The Devil and Chance McCoy and his Old Crow Medicine Show.Raw and unaffected. That is the music of Moonshine Brigade, a quartet of wild men from the city of Den Bosch.”
12 original songs are on the album. Gothic country folk would be a good description, with songs where banjo, mandolin and guitar determine the sound, supported by the rhythm section (drums and double bass). The band has two vocalists, Paul Hendriks and Willem Zenhorst, with raw sometimes appropriate manic voices.
“Insomnia has the band getting down and dirty as the beat is solid as ever and their vocals are supercool. I love this one a lot. They will even give you a laugh in this song. So cool. Heel On the Shovel has a whole different groove as the melody and rhythm to this song brings the band to another level. Check this one out by all means.”

EN "Zie hier de kennismaking met de Moonshine Brigade, aanstekelijke muziek die in het rijtje 16 horsepower, The Dead South, Hank III and the Old Crow Medicine Show past. Als je de muziek hoort denk je in eerste instantie te doen te hebben met een Amerikaanse band, maar niks is minder waar, het zijn jongens van de koude grond uit ‘s-Hertogenbosch, die met een mengeling van americana/country-blues met ‘The Missery Stains’ een geweldig album hebben neergezet. De muziek varieert op een geweldige manier zowel kwa stijl als sfeer.
