Howlin’ at the Moon featuring Goodnight Moonshine

Goodnight Moonshine is a guitar and vocal duet, and a musical marriage in all senses. The duo combines the evocative voice and songwriting of Molly Venter with Eben Pariser. The result is folk music with a depth of improvisation and tonal subtlety usually reserved for jazz.
