This was our first time at this venue. The sound was good, and the sightlines were good. We were up in the balcony or mezzanine.
We were not familiar with either act, but we knew one of the members of Moonsville Collective from a previous band. Both acts were very good, very interactive with the audience and were great musicians.
The style might be to everyone's liking, but we were used to that style, having experience with that style previously. Good music, and good musicianship, are always in style no matter the genre.

Moonsville Collective Biography
Moonsville, named after a home in the sky, is a band that writes songs that are trimmed from the fat of the American experience. During a time of high saturation and modern pace, the band draws from a slower and simpler time with the belief that good songs can still save, move and speak.
As young ramblers from the suburbs of recession in Los Angeles, they began their musical formation by taking refuge in Central California and sitting-in on jug band and old-time music circles where an infectious and pure spirit of “music for music’s sake” lived. Injecting that same spirit into their own community became their quest. Moonsville started as a collective, a group for musicians to come and go while fine-tuning their chops. They cheerfully and often drunkenly sang their voices hoarse at homegrown hootenannies and local bars that had never heard covers of C.C. Rider and Goodnight Irene.
In 2013, the band changed its course. Deciding it was time to chisel their own hometown sound, they set out to explain and narrate their lives and their California while curbing their reliance on old time tunes. Since then, they have recorded 2 albums of original music, dropped the collective, toured the country, and shared the stage with The White Buffalo, Willie Watson and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, among others. Moonsville pairs their LA reality of flickering neon signs and mariachi dive bars with their out-of town travels to form a landscape where their songs can grow, emoting a heart of contentment for what’s been given and a desire for the beyond.
