Goodnight Moonshine is a musical marriage—the guitar and vocal duet of renowned Red Molly singer Molly Venter and prolific producer/guitarist Eben Pariser. Their collaborative result is a sophisticated folk sound built around Molly's enviable voice and Eben's wide, imaginative harmonic sensibilities (NPR). 

John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential iconic singer-songwriter of the 80’s folk scene. Hailing from New Jersey, but forged in the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene, he honed his craft and persona into an unmistakable image. The shy, wry, insightful, and yes, sensitive singer-songwriter has been copied and parodied. But the old coat he wove still fits, and still suits him well. The old songs ring as true as they ever did, and the new ones are just as good.

Known for their tight harmonies and natural musical synchronicity, The Lion Sisters head to The Word Barn in celebration of their brand new album release.
