Goodnight Moonshine Duo feat. Molly Venter
Goodnight Moonshine's first visit to Austin since releasing their new album "I'm The Only One Who Will Tell You, You're Bad," in June 2018.
ON THE ALBUM:
Every once in a while, an album comes along thats a breath of fresh air...a statement of substance and grace that reminds us of lifes bigger picture: keeping a marriage afloat, raising children, dealing with death, loving your partner, finding yourself, claiming your independence.
On Goodnight Moonshines upcoming June 1st Im the Only One Who Will Tell You, Youre Bad, the duo delivers a funny, smart, explicit, raw, honest, mature, witty collection of Folk-Pop songs that reflect the messiness of partnership (in its many forms,) parenthood and growing up, while evoking the emotionally resonant aesthetic of Shawn Colvin and Patty Griffin.
For Goodnight Moonshines wife and husband duo Molly Venter and Eben Pariser, the journey was cathartic and, as Venter describes, an exploration of post honeymoon, post-kid relationship in all it's heart-opening and door-slamming glory! Pariser adds, The album chronicles a revolutionary time in our lives, and the country and world at large. The semi-autobiographical CDs opening track and first single, Settle Down, opens with blunt cleverness: We never got to experiment with psychedelics before you knocked me up, We never had that 3-way in the heart of Paris, and now were all grown up...Baby I love our life, but I dont want to settle down. Other highlights on the album, from I Love You Goodbye to January Skies to Scientist, blur real-world themes with invented details.
GOODNIGHT MOONSHINE BIO:
When you first hear Goodnight Moonshine it brings a wave of nostalgia, conjuring teenage heartache- then perhaps a similar sensation to falling in love. As the music fades you're left grappling with what it is to stay in love with something both beautiful and flawed. Courageous unveiling and depth of experience make the collaboration between married couple Molly Venter and Eben Pariser addictively captivating.
Molly Venter's voice bends from a sweet moan to a gritty shout and back into a playful run in the space of a few bars and "it all goes down like silk," writes American Songwriter Magazine - "few singers turn first time listeners into eternal fanatics as effortlessly as Molly Venter." The emotional potency of her voice is surrounded and supported by a lush landscape of harmonies and minimalist orchestrations conceived by Eben, on vocals and electric guitar. Co-writing often, the couple uses the creative process to explore a healthy authentic relationship. Both wholesome and irreverent, they sing of grief and joy in equal measure; Molly gives smooth delivery to Eben's assertions while Eben gives form and focus to Molly's raw passion. Their music encourages listeners to embrace opposing desires, to challenge as well as support each other through inspiration and dissolution, and hopefully to share this journey with their larger communities.
Venters voice has caught the ear of industry giants, and been prominently featured on FOX television, Apple Computers and in Warner Brothers films. Molly and Ebens Co-write "Willow Tree" was a #1 hit on the folk charts in 2014 and was featured in USA Today. Consummate performers, Molly and Eben have also appeared nationally and internationally, 100+ shows a year, with their respective bands Red Molly and Roosevelt Dime.
