The Moon Shine Babies have musical roots that grow from the North Carolina mountains southward to the Gulf Shores of Alabama. Drawing on their rich experiences as modern day troubadours, their music evokes the intimate spirit of a front porch jam or the communion around a moonlit campfire. The powerful songwriting of Suzanne Schmitt is delicately balanced by the gentle, intricate guitar work of her partner, Jerry Trapp, the understated percussion of Jim Trapp, and the undulating rhythms of Sarah Trapp on bass. At times, the Moon Shine Babies will make you kick up your heels and dance. Then, when the dust settles, their harmonies will lead you to a place where you intently listen to a masterfully spun tale or poignant reflection on the human experience. More than a musical performance, a Moon Shine Babies concert is a ride that warms the heart and soothes the soul.
Suzanne Schmitt writes real life-story songs, plays acoustic guitar and sings with a natural and sparkling beauty...Jerry Trapp plays exquisite melody on acoustic guitar, dobro, mandolin, etc..., as well as weaving in spirited vocals and moving harmonies....brother, Jim Trapp, plays complimentary percussion with a sensitive, yet dynamic sense of rhythm and creativity...Sarah Trapp plays the bass with intention, emotion and clarity...(Occasionally or as the moment should call for, the Babies are accompanied by guest musicians such as cello, saxaphone, flute, squeezebox, harmonica, vocals etc...)
Moon Shine Babies are musically diverse and find their music appeals to old, young and in between.
Though their music finds it's roots in the Acoustic/Americana/Folk style, their combined 30+ years of musical experience allows them to play songs from many different genres while allowing for their own inspired interpretation.
Known best for their original music, Moon Shine Babies are reaching an evergrowing fanbase and are gratefully enjoying sharing their music with more and more like-minded folks every day.
