I found your demo CD on a San Francisco street, took it home, and played it.  I love it!

Brand new song from Moonshiner Collective.  Party on.

The Banjo Song (Moonshine!)

Moonshiner Collective cover of Paul Simon's "Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes" from 1986's "Graceland" record.  Play it loud on some nice speakers if you can!!

Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Paul Simon Cover)

"Autumness" is inspired by the Redwood Forests of Big Sur, CA and the fantasy like perspective these massive trees and the nearby ocean gives us.  It is a song about being humbled by and in awe of the California coastline's unique landscape and the feeling of freedom and wonder of being lost in its beauty.

"Autumness" Lyrics

While these redwood forest holy ghosts
Remind us where to play
We fell deeply in the autumness
And decided then to stay
We left battle scenes and dollar signs
Just hoping to be saved
Running freely through this wilderness
The night becomes our place

Is this day ours to borrow?
Lost and living for tomorrow
Oh Lord thank you kindly
We have seen you in the red trees
For the love of my life
For this sea and this sky
And this place where we can find our way
(whistle)

Drifting further toward the water’s edge
We closed our eyes and sang
When we felt the beach under our toes 
We fell in love again
Well it’s sure good to get lost sometimes
In the autumness my friends
And this time we promised everything 
But who knows where it ends 

Is this day ours to borrow?
Lost and living for tomorrow
Oh Lord thank you kindly
We have felt you in the sea breeze
For the love of my life
For this sea and this sky
And this place where we can find our way
(whistle)

The fire burns inside us
And now no time for sleep
Awake
Take it all in
And breathe, breathe, breathe
The purple, red, and blue skies
The ocean's majesty
These hills the only skyline
Relax we're simply free
Relax we're simply free



Autumness

"Let Go" is about a couple waking up to each other in the moment between dream and reality and deciding to fall back asleep to find each other in their dream.  It's about the freeing feeling of being with the one you love and knowing that everything will fall into place when you're in their presence which is what allows both partners to "let go" and let the river in their shared dream take them where it will.

"Let Go" Lyrics

I knew the faster I fell well the quicker the fate
I chose to float on this sunny and endless day
She whispered softly says “hey there how do you feel”
Well the river’s running high 
and it’s taking me through something unreal 

Oh love there’s a smile that I find every morning
When I wake from the depths of this dream
Oh love when I see you I believe
Everything will always be how we’ve asked it to be
And all we have is time
Let’s drift again
Some river where
We both let go
We both let go

I knew the faster I fell well the quicker the fate
I chose to float on this sunny and endless day
She whispered softly says “hey there how do you feel”
Well the river’s running high 
and it’s taking me through something unreal 

Oh love there’s a smile that I find every morning
When I wake from the depths of this dream
Oh love when I see you I believe
Everything will always be how we’ve asked it to be
And all we have is time
Let’s drift again
Some river where
We both let go
We both let go

Let Go

Moonshiner Collective's music intends to cut through the chaos and noise of modern life and beckons the listener to let go for a moment. The band consists of singer/guitarist Dan Curcio, violinist/keys/vocalist Daniel Cimo, bassist/multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Vince Cimo, and drummer Lance Iunker.  The eclectic blend of folk rock instrumentation and four part vocal harmonies combines contemplative lyrics with a foot stomping, high energy, California beach town influenced sound. It is good time music with a passionate depth. The music's unifying positivity bridges gaps in generations and genres; with a sound and message that draws fans of The Avett Brothers, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Fleet Foxes, The Wood Brothers, Van Morrison, and Old Crow Medicine Show but is also a style entirely its own.
