The Deltaz & Moonsville Collective

Shut the screen door on the back porch and throw another log on the fire of the barbecue. Then go inside, pull out your favorite Deltaz album and throw it on the turntable. Heavy blues, roots rock, classic country and the blood harmony of two brothers will pour out of your stereo.

Brothers John (Vocals, Harmonica, Drums) and Ted Siegel (Vocals, Guitar) spend many of their days perfecting new records at a vintage mobile Airstream studio behind their residence just outside of Nashville Tennessee. In 2018 the brothers home and studio was destroyed in a California forest fire prompting them to move out to Nashville. Before relocating they had become mainstays at a Southern Californian institution, The Old Place, regularly performing for patrons at the ever-packed restaurant in the Santa Monica Mountains where the boys grew up.

There, they caught the ear of the late bassist Rick Rosas (Neil Young, Joe Walsh), who became a mentor to the group. They have spent their hours rigorously touring, headlining shows across the country, regularly touring in Europe, while attracting the attention of sonic peers such as alt-country act The White Buffalo and Mississippi Blues legend Watermelon Slim, playing with both on several occasions. The Deltaz have had their music placed on CMT and MTV television shows and most recently The Deltaz had their song “Wild Mustang” featured in a film directed by Edward James Olmos, “The Devil Has a Name”, recorded as a duet with vocal rock legend Bonnie Bramlett (Eric Clapton, Leon Russell). Since The Deltaz have settled into Nashville they’ve become a staple in their neighborhood of Leipers Fork regularly performing at Fox & Locke and in 2021 at Franklin Tennessee’s Pilgrimage Festival.

Moonsville returns to the Hotel Cafe in collaboration with Tennessee buddies The Deltaz, and to continue the celebration of their freshly released new album A Hundred Highways (Rock Ridge Music). During a time of high saturation and modern pace, the band draws from a slower and simpler time with the belief that good songs can still save, move and speak. Rambling from the outskirts of Los Angeles, Moonsville has received many local awards, nation wide press, and shared the stage with an array of world class artists. Known for their infectious spirit and live shows, Moonsville endures into their second decade with a strong addition to their California Canon.

“Musically, the album is an Americana dream, full of old-time, bluegrass, roots, and folk goodness. It’s a glorious listen from start to finish, through the ebb and flow of emotions the songs examine. It’s a fireside chat, in musical form.” – Amplify Magazine

“Moonsville Collective makes music that feels celebratory one moment, bittersweet the next. It tugs at heartstrings, pulling the listener in over tales of love, family, children, change, and growth. The band’s new album, ‘A Hundred Highways,’ paints a picture of a band in its prime — lyrically stronger than ever before, musically finding its stride and exploring traditional roots more than in the past. The result is charming, thought-provoking, and honest. Earnest. Real.” – Vents Magazine
