Kansas City quartet MoonShroom have absorbed an eclectic mix of influences, creating a “funky, Americana-drenched sound rooted in both the nostalgic and the cosmic unknown.” The band creates by utilizing each member’s disparate background and specialty. They recently released a Bluegrass-leaning single titled “Somewhere on a Mountain.” It’s the latest single from their upcoming debut album, Take a Trip.
“Somewhere on a Mountain” was born amidst a major change in dobro player Jake Keegan’s life.
He recalls:
I wrote this song amidst a past music project of mine falling apart during the pandemic. We had hit the road hard for five years building, only for it to end abruptly due to several factors out of our control. Ultimately, the universe had a weird way of shaking up my life in order to make way for the new. Now, I couldn’t be happier with the music we are creating with MoonShroom.
Like the rest of Take a Trip, which is out June 27th, 2025, “Somewhere on a Mountain” builds off the band’s experience playing to the energy of a crowd and suggests the feel of their live shows.
