BIOS
Neon Union
Comprised of newcomers Leo Brooks and Andrew Millsaps, Neon Union is a duo preparing to take country music by storm. Brooks grew up in Miami and has collaborated with artists like Pitbull, Lauryn Hill, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Cee Lo Green and John Legend. Millsaps grew up in North Carolina and has been writing songs ever since the age of 13. When the two were introduced, they knew instantly that their sound and musical styles would join together to create the perfect duo. Together as Neon Union, Brooks and Millsaps are bringing a new sound to country music, with 808 kick drums married to a traditional country lyric and anthemic pop melodies. Since signing with Jay DeMarcus’ Red Street Records in 2022, Neon Union has been named Billboard’s Rookie of the Month, earned performance slots with the ACMs and CMA Fest and have opened for musical acts like Hardy, Scotty McCreery and Pitbull. The duo has recently released their debut EP Double Wide Castle Sessions following their debut charted single, “Bout Damn Time.”

Moonshine Bandits
Moonshine Bandits, the California duo of Dusty ‘Tex’ Dahlgren and Brett ‘Bird’ Brooks, are back with their new album Pour Decisions. The duo continues to champion their signature sound of backwoods bravado, country soul, keg-thumping beats, and hip-hop fusion. Pour Decisions is the grittiest, most spirited, and distinctly grassroots release of their sixteen-year campaign of musical badassery.

"Let’s face it, our fans love to party and so do we. With the amount of partying we all do, poor decisions can be made," said Big Tex with a chuckle, referring to the inspiration behind the album title. "We flipped it to ‘Pour Decisions’ to coincide with our new Bucked Up Whiskey brand. Now you can make the right 'Pour Decision' when you choose to pour a shot of our whiskey. Cheers!"

Since their formation in Los Banos, California, in 2003, the Moonshine Bandits have continued a campaign of crossover genre-bending musical mayhem that appeals to the eclectic, color-outside-the-lines tastes of listeners. Their musical style has always been full-throttle and in your face. Just like the rumrunners, bootleggers, smugglers, and outlaws of old – the Moonshine Bandits provide a supply of goods for the demand, defying the mandates and trends of mainstream pop-culture.
