Prepare to be spellbound as indie phenomenon The Moonrise Cartel, takes the stage with the full band at The Palace Stamford’s intimate Upstage venue, for an electrifying performance on Saturday, March 1 at 8pm. Known for their hauntingly perfect songwriting and vocals that are both new yet reminiscent of your favorite album, The Moonrise Cartel promises an unforgettable evening of musical magic. Stephanie Harrison's voice has been deservingly likened to the greats; her sound and perfect pitch is often compared to Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. Al Pascarelli has honed his craft of honest and beautiful songwriting that is simple in the best way possible. His deep, gravelly tone offers the perfect counterpoint to Stephanie. Sean O'Reilly consistently creates masterful piano accompaniments that take the songs to gut wrenching and foot stomping levels. His playing is likened to a combination of Tori Amos and Bruce Hornsby. Rounding out the low end with a pulse that is both powerful and effortlessly fluid are Benj LeFevre on bass and Steve Tobey on drums. Worth noting is the undeniable presence of fellow musicians in the audience wherever they go. This speaks volumes about the caliber of their performances, as musicians themselves recognize and appreciate the band's exceptional skill and artistry. Stephanie and Al's incredible vocals, coupled with Al Pascarelli's masterful songwriting, are sure to propel The Moonrise Cartel from Black Rock onto the charts - they’re latest release, Set To Stun , has over 75,000 streams on Spotify . With past performances including opening for Buddy Guy and Sophie B. Hawkins, The Moonrise Cartel is the one to watch! No doubt continuing their streak of sold out shows, you don’t want to miss this - grab your tickets here. The Palace’s intimate Upstage venue is the area’s premier listening room – a vibrant, modern space with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, a full bar, and a great vibe – it’s the perfect place to experience The Moonrise Cartel’s dynamic sound up close and personal.
