Based in Central PA, the Tussey Mountain Moonshiners feature dynamic songwriting, singing, and improvisational musicianship, while playing their own very special & potent musical brew. Their music ranges from bluegrass, Americana & old-time to ….well …anything! They blend a variety of influences & distill them into a musical style all their own. And it’s easy to see how much they love to play and how much joy they bring to the music and to audiences young and old.
This award-winning collective has been making a joyful noise since the late 2000’s. In 2010, the band won the prestigious DelFest Bluegrass Band Competition in Cumberland, Maryland. Bluegrass Unlimited magazine has praised the Moonshiners’ originality, authenticity, and enthusiastic approach to making music. Every member contributes to the songs, sounds & joy that makes every Moonshiners show a celebration.
Whipple Dam State Park, a family destination for over 100 years, is a great summer music destination too. Music on the Beach at Whipple Dam is back again this summer. So grab your favorite beach gear & something to keep you warm if it's a cool evening, and join us for music on the sand, under the stars.
*A $5 donation for the park is much appreciated
