Bio
.... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ .... ..In true 21st century fashion, an ad on “craigslist.com” sparked the formation of the youthful bluegrass band Moonshine Drive in February 2007. Through this fateful internet connection, banjo player Louis Mazzocca met brothers Marc and Greg Mecoli. With the help of a $75 upright bass and the addition of Jake Calvert on mandolin and Ian Collins on guitar and lead vocals, the band’s line-up was complete. With just two months practice, Moonshine Drive debuted at local hot spot - Northside Tavern. Combining traditional and contemporary bluegrass music, fiddle tunes, fand that high and lonesome singing, they have been delighting audiences, both young and old, all over the Cincinnati area. In June of 2009, Moonshine lost both Marc and Ian to employment opportunities in other cities, but were quick to fill in the gaps. Tim Lawson, a seasoned bluegrass and gospel singer, took the role of lead singer and rhythm guitar and you can hear his wonderful voice on many of the songs found on the site. The boys continue to frequent local establishments Arnold’s Bar and Grill, and, of course, Northside Tavern, where they play the first Thursday of every month. They have traveled across the Ohio River into Kentucky and have ventured as far west as Chicago, Illinois. Moonshine Drive continue to ramble on as one of the youngest and most energetic bluegrass acts in town...
