SOUTH AUSTIN MOONLIGHTERS
The band started in 2011 when Lonnie got together a group of local music veterans to occasionally play together for the sheer joy of making music. Pretty soon it became evident that something special happened when we played together, and the band—which was originally meant to be a moonlighting side-gig for all of us—became our main gig.

Those of you who know us know that our success has come from working as a team. We hold each other up and inspire each other to keep pushing and challenging ourselves to be our very best at all times. We all sing and write songs. We take turns leading the band, singing harmonies and coming together to lift each other up.

At the end of the day we all love making music, sharing it with people and basking in the joy that our audiences reflect back to us.

The Moonlighters deliver their own unique brand of Americana music with organic, show-stopping vocal harmonies, incredible musicianship, and well-crafted, heart-felt songs.

The joy of making music is a tangible and contagious part of the Moonlighters’ live shows. They are often compared to The Eagles, Little Feat, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young—but the Moonlighters have a voice all of their own.

They write and perform original music 2012’s Live at The Saxon Pub, 2013’s Burn and Shine, 2016’s Ghost of a Small Town and the highly anticipated, Anders Osborne-produced album Travel Light, which was released on May 17, 2019.

TIMLIGHTYEAR
Timlightyear (Timothy Allen) had crafted his reputation as the penultimate jack of all trades of the Texas music scene, adding his guitar chops, harmony vocals, producing skills and songwriting to a myriad of artists over the last decade. His most recent and personal iteration is as a songwriter and performer under his own name, fast becoming a coveted ticket in the live form and adding to his own repertoire as a producer with his recordings. Alongside Nathan Galvin and Ryan Stogner, the trio is quickly making waves in the Texas music scene. His most recent effort strips away the expected layers of accompaniment and showcases the substance in lyricism and melody that set him apart from the crowd. Recorded simultaneously with full band sessions in Dallas, TX, "Travelin Lite" is sure to not only stand alone as one of the must listen albums of the year but also only further increases the anticipation for Tim's upcoming full length album. 


WINSTON COOK
Winston Cook is an American singer-songwriter drawing from the influences of alternative, rock, indie, and folk genres. Starting off as a classically-trained musician in his formative years, Winston eventually turned to the guitar and began developing his craft of songwriting. His lyrics strive for emotional depth and clever poeticism, while the full band arrangements uphold the climactic, melodic, and symphonic qualities that he learned about in his early years as a musician. From the classical music upbringing to his eclectic mix of influences, Winston Cook's music is sure to surprise in every way from delicate moods of intimacy to powerhouse-level vocal performances.
