Mike and the Moonpies are a honky tonk outfit based in Austin, Texas, who call themselves the working man’s working band. Their sound is steeped in tradition, but the Moonpies are the modern face of the outlaw country music movement. The group’s fifth studio album “Steak Night at the Prairie Rose” was recently listed at #17 on Rolling Stone’s Best Country/Americana Albums of 2018.
Formed nearly 30 years ago, the Bottle Rockets helped forge a now-popular subgenre—small-town, middle-class, Midwest American roots rock—part right-to-the-gut poetry, part rock ‘n’ roll, all truth. In 2018, the St. Louis natives released their 13th album, Bit Logic, and it is fresh take on their signature style.
