Paper Moon Shiners in concert

Come enjoy an infectiously entertaining evening with cracker blues, vintage jazz, swing, ragtime, Americana roots and folk from Paper Moon Shiners, an Austin, Texas, duo. They will perform at The Lighthouse at 6pm on Saturday, October 19, 2024, in Truth or Consequences, NM.  Specializing in vintage American songs from the early twentieth century, Paper Moon Shiners has resurrected a jazzy musical style reminiscent of speakeasys and smoky juke joints.

Says the Houston Chronicle: “Paper Moon Shiners breathe life back into the songs of days gone by. The band is Elena Antinelli on vocals and Frank Meyer on vocals, guitar, dobro, ukulele and the invisible kazoo. They specialize in covering music from the Victrola/ vaudeville era to the present, sprinkling in some original compositions written in the vintage spirit.

The Lighthouse is located at 124 Austin Street, Truth or Consequences, NM.  This concert is sponsored by the Sierra County Arts Council. Tickets, available at the door or in advance at www.sierracountyarts.com, are $15, or $10 for SCAC members.
