Upcoming Release: Sisters – Mama Moonshine

A London based four piece with a love of all things soul, MAMA MOONSHINE  are a band tailor made for swaying between funk jams and blues rhythms. This is a group who take in all kinds of influences – from the dusky likes of ELLA FITZGERALD  and ARETHA FRANKLIN, to the funk rock stylings of the BLACK KEYS and the RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS   – each member has their own unique sound, when moulded together creates a distinct and elevated tone.

 Their brand new single Sisters is a heartfelt song about the loss and gain of true friendship. Hauntingly soulful and with smartly lyrics that unspool with a gentle power, the track is a solid example of this band’s class.

 MAMA MOONSHINE are clearly a band assured in their own sound, both in the studio and on the stage. Having sold out both The Camden Enterprise and Proud Galleries (Camden Town) they also played to a rapt crowd at the Audiofarm festival 2014, Brunswick in Brighton and Portobello Road, Notting Hill to name a few. Add to that recent radio appearances and a guest slot for vocalist Ruth with Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Band for charity last year, and this band is on the rise in the London Music Scene.

Sisters will be available on Itunes from 30th January
