Muddy Moonshine is a rock band from Helsinki, Finland. They are issued with genres such as southern rock, blues rock and hard rock.[1] Their slogan "heavy driven blues with a touch of the american south" is served with distinguished northern and finnish tone.

History

Muddy Moonshine was founded in summer 2014 at Helsinki, Finland. Original idea for this project was to have a small three-person blues band (Jonne Rytkönen, Tero Ikala, Jarmo Ikala), to perform a few pub shows. Moonshiners quickly developed their own material and they needed

to add some man power, so Saku Manninen joined to play drums and Jaakko Ruusulampi on bass guitar. Third guitarist slot was for Niko Turunen.

This lineup recorded the bands first EP Distilled in Finland at Porvoo Magnusborg studios in 2015. Muddy Moonshine continued to make their own music and played shows with good pace. Jaakko decided to leave the group and was replaced by Kim Sandström, and Niko was replaced by Stefan Granroth. Just before Moonshiners were about to start recording their debut album, Tero’s health issues started and he was replaced by Aleksi Ahokas.

Debut album Muddy & Wild was recorded in 2016 at Porvoo Magnusborg studios and was published via Inverse Records affiliated company Secret Entertainment worldwide. Due to musical differencies Aleksi left the group to follow his own path in music and Muddy got an experienced former frontman of Iconofear, Doperman, Hedonist and Zombie Rodeo, Thomas Vee, in vocals. Transition was easy and natural, since the bands paths had crossed before and there had been talks about collaboration before.

Moonshiners made more material and the gig pace was good. It was almost time to enter the studio and publish their second album. Stefan decided to focus on family. Muddy Moonshine didn’t recruit anyone to replace him. Two-track single Charm of Drinking Hard was released september 2021. Second single Crystal Riders lead the way for the forthcoming album Are We There Yet? which was released in the beginning of 2022.[2]
