"The Blinky Moon Boys" is name that people tend to remember. The name actually
comes from a joke that was told about the goings on at a "Blinky Moon Tourist Court" in
Williamsburg, Kentucky. Such an unusual name is fitting for a group of uncommon
musicians. The Blinky Moon Boys actually live in Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia;
geography dictates that they keep their performances to a minimum, but that's one thing
that keeps the music so refreshing. Each band member has played with their own
hometown bands and nationally recognized acts over the years, but the real magic starts
when they perform together. The glue that holds the Blinky Moon Boys together is their
shared vision and deep appreciation for the first generation Bluegrass musicians. You can
hear the driving banjo style of Earl Scruggs, the smooth brand of Kentucky/Tennessee
fiddling, and the punctuated mandolin style of Monroe. You'll also hear the soulful
mountain singing of the Stanleys and a "bounce" reminiscent of Jimmy Martin.
