TMR 19 Band Bio: Mike & the Moonpies

Dawning a new era of country music in Austin, Texas, the Moonpies are steamrolling their way through Texas, playing their beer soaked hipster honky-tonk in dance halls, bars and venues all across the Lone-Star state. The Moonpies are more than hometown heroes. They are big city heroes on the rise and gaining thousands of fans along the way. Their signature sound goes over with the classic country crowd as it does with the indie rock crowd. They fill the legendary Broken Spoke full of two stepping’ South Austin swingers, and have built their own legendary Thursday night residency at the White Horse in East Austin, hipster haven, which attracts fans of all ages and backgrounds.

A typical Moonpies set would include nearly every song off each of their debut albums. But don’t forget this band can down a set ‘70s classics for 4 hours like it’s a bottle of Jack Daniels. You want George Strait songs??…they know them all. Bob Seger, Willie Nelson, Doug Sahm, Gary Stewart and more are mixed in for good measure.

You never quite know what you’re going to get when they take the stage, except that it’s gonna be good…which means TMR 19, Saturday, March 21st at Southfork Ranch is gonna be great!
