Moondrunk is a New York-based folk duo that jumps from heartbreak to humor before you can finish your whiskey. Andrew Bancroft’s original lyrics and guitar licks are complemented by Ashley Flanagan’s powerful vocals. They will be joined by the talented multi-instrumentalist Yair Evnine on cello. If the mood strikes, you may be privy to an audience-inspired freestyle rap. Either way, you will hear something unique.

Bancroft has been has been featured on MTV’s TRL and in Rolling Stone and TIME.
