Entertainment this week: Fanny Bridge Dedication, CultureFest

Friday, May 15

Michelle Moonshine – 7:30-10:30 p.m., Moody’s Bistro, Bar & Beats, 10007 Bridge St. Singer-Songwriter Michelle Moonshine’s original songs have an upbeat tempo, catchy vocal lines and heartfelt lyrics; but it’s her unique voice that truly engages a listener at a performance. Her timbre can be described as incredibly sweet and whimsical, and yet is still saturated in feeling that makes you want to stop and listen to every word. During her four years of performing, Michelle has garnered recruitments from NBC’s The Voice in 2014 (to which she turned down after being accepted); and from America’s Got Talent in Fall 2015 which is still ongoing. Within that time she has put a national tour under her belt and honed her craft in producing her own blend of Country-esque Americana https://michellemoonshine.com/ Additional dates: 5/15, 5/16.
