Moonshine Holler

  • Massachusetts

    MA

Institution/Business Type: Performing Group

Old-time music from the heart with sole! Featuring spine-tingling vocal harmonies, spirited mountain breakdowns, blues and ballads, and with flatfoot dancing to boot, Moonshine Holler (Paula Bradley & Bill Dillof) captures the essence of American southern roots music on more instruments than they can juggle, including fiddle, banjo, guitar, Hawaiian guitar, harmonica and ukulele. Described as a "a two person music festival", they have performed at festivals, concerts and dances in the US and abroad. Well-respected teachers and presenters of traditional Appalachian music, they have instructed at Augusta (WV) & Swannanoa (NC) Old-Time weeks, Pinewoods Southern week (MA), Suwannee Old-time Weekend (FL), Bluff Country Gathering (MN) and the Longford Banjo Festival (IRL), to name a few. They presented an educational children's program with members of the New Haven Symphony called "Fiddle Faddle", and have performed many school & library shows. They are popular entertainers known for humor, heart and fun!
