Electric Chicago Blues from The Medina Delta....

The MoonShiners are a four piece Rhythm & Blues band hailing from the deep south of The Isle of Wight.

Fusing together influences from the Chicago blues of Muddy Waters / Little Walter to the Folk-Rock-Americana of Bob Dylan & The Band, The MoonShiners deliver a strong set of good-time music.

Fronted by Dave Hollis on vocals/blues-harp/guitar, with Adi Charlton guitars/vocals and a solid rhythm section of Tim Hollis; bass and Rich Wilson; drums, the band regularly play the Island's pub/club circuit as well as festivals such as Wolverton Folk & Blues Fair, The Rhythm Tree Festival, V-Dub Festival and Cowes Week. Other notable performances have included support slots to touring blues artists such as Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges, Papa George and Ian Siegal.
