Backwoods bravado, patriot's pride, country soul, and keg-thumping beats are the qualities that Moonshine Bandits have championed since they began their journey. Armed with a hybrid arsenal of country and hip hop fusion, the California duo of Dusty "Tex" Dahlgren and Brett "Bird" Brooks are back with the grittiest, spirited, and distinctly grassroots release of their sixteen-year campaign of musical badassery, "Gold Rush."

"If you ain't about this life then you ain't about shit." - From the Track "Mud Money" on the Moonshine Bandits' latest release "Gold Rush."

Formation and Musical Journey

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, aka The Shiners. They fiercely refuse to have their tastes confined and filed into categories. "Our musical style has always been full throttle and in your face," says Moonshine Bandit Tex.

Just like the rumrunners, bootleggers, smugglers, and outlaws of old, the Moonshine Bandits provide a supply of the goods for the demand, defying the mandates and trends of mainstream pop culture.

Achievements and Recognition

Long before people figured out country and rap had a lot in common, the Moonshine Bandits released their genre-blending album, "Whiskey," and took the world of outlaw music by storm. The group's blue-collar work ethic and unwavering persistence have led to over 60 million views on the ShinerTV YouTube channel and collectively over 80 million views on YouTube, while their video for "My Kind of Country" peaked at #1 on CMT Pure.

The Bandits also charted on Billboard simultaneously with a top 10 in Rap and a top 20 in Country Music and have been recognized by Rolling Stone Magazine, CMT, YouTube Honors, MTV, AOL THE BOOT, YAHOO, and the list goes on.

Fan Engagement and Philanthropy

Connecting with fans on all levels, Moonshine Bandits have built a solid Shiner Nation of loyal fans and started their own 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization known as Operation Packing Company, Inc. This organization specializes in sending supplies to our troops overseas, such as beef jerky and legal moonshine.

The Bandits earned a 2018 Telly Award for their "Take This Job" music video featuring David Allan Coe.
