The kids they danced and shook their bones. There is no way to see Moon Hooch without dancing. And sweating. Through your clothes. YES.
The best part about seeing Moon Hooch perform at the Bright Box is the sheer intimacy of being 2 feet from the performance. Invigorating. Life affirming. Danceable. Fun.
We’re sad that James Muschler has moved on, but Moon Hooch still rocks the house.
Winter is here, and various holiday parties spring up, including a somewhat novel round of Krampus events. The walking mall in Winchester, VA is getting into the holiday spirit just as the cold sets in.
We dropped in at the Tin Top Handmade shop just after Krampus had chased everyone out. Oh so tardy.

And what did we spot in front of the Bright Box?

Such tight polyrhythm. Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen both play a mean sax.
Moon Hooch sax overload
The drummer, James Muschler, is incredibly talented and a joy to dance to.

Encore! We hope to see you again in Virginia.
After the show, it turned out that the band needed a place to crash. So we offered up Coal Stove Sink, some beer cheese, breakfast, some fiddle, and delicious cocktails (not necessarily in that order). The guys were delightful.
Beer cheese is good!
Quiet moment by the bar
Breakfast was peaceful and delicious.

Hi Y’all! Moon Hooch in the house
Too bad they couldn’t stick around for the solstice fire! Back on the road.
