Sounds Like: Sky-Shaving RockMoonshine Crows CAKEISDONEKent 'Papa Crow' Mitchell (vocals/guitar), Tracey Beardmore (bass/vocals), and Gareth Winstone (drums) met in 2006, fused their collective talents and myriad US influences – such as the Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Neil Young and many more – and launched a sky-shaving comet of free and enterprising rock. Clean shards of rhythm, and occasionally chorused guitar support Kent’s rejuvenating vocals and lyrics, while Tracey and Gareth drive proceedings along with stimulating awareness. Zombie Love sees Link Wray shake hands with the Velvet Underground at a moonlit rendezvous, while Dreams of Reality is clean, dynamic and simply classic.

Blues rock of the highest order with snares and cymbals a' crashing all around.....MICHELLE DEE, THIS IS ULLMoonshine crows came down from Hull to play at Old Nicks on Saturday night. They can best be described as a progressive blues band that takes the basis of a song and improvises around it. The benefit of this makes each performance unique and keeps the audience guessing. The songs were a broad mixture of their original repertoire many of which were guitar driven. Kent on the guitar kept the audience spell bound in the second set with his well rounded blues solo’s, and kept the humour by introducing melodies played on the Kazoo. Tracey held her own on the bass with blasts of energy executed with pizzazz. Gareth on the drums kept the band solid and showed off his ability in a drum solo which was received well by the audience. Moonshine Crows are truly an original band that can create an atmosphere at any gig which grows as the evening progresses. OLD NICKS TAVERN NEWSLETTER
