About The Band:
The Moon Shells draw from the music of Appalachia, Louisiana, West Africa, and elsewhere to explore what it can do and try to make something new. They've played small stages and festivals all over New England and have made four albums of original songs, two of which were considered among the Hartford Courant's best regional albums of the year. They've also been nominated for Americana Band of the Year at the New England Music Awards. As inspired by nature as by culture, they make music that moves hearts and feet, about contending with the past, accepting the present, and running headlong into adapting to the future.
