This band's style is Honky Tonk Trucker Jazz and Rock n' Roll!!!!

“...the MoonRaiders, is an instrumental twang type of project – an amalgamation of country, jazz, rock, and, well, space. It’s the soundtrack to exploring the galaxy as it exists in the confines of a spaghetti Western – with a side of extra sauce. It’s tasty. It’s worthy of seconds, thirds, and even fourths. So extend the belt, make room, and get ready for a smattering of fun.”
