Bike Ride! These talented singer-songwriters are sure to captivate you with their thoughtful and inspiring original songs. While both have impressive solo albums to their credit, they love teaming up as Sons of Timaeus, and we can’t wait for you to experience their music live.

Unfit Wives: Main Event 7:00 - 8:30 pm

We’re thrilled to have Unfit Wives back for their second Moonrise Bike Ride! After being such a huge hit in 2018, we knew we had to bring them back for more. If you’re new to Moonrise Bike Ride and haven’t experienced Unfit Wives yet, you’re in for a real treat!

Front Porch: Main Event 9:00 - 10:30 pm

To top off the evening we've got the high-energy bluegrass band, Front Porch! This talented group of musicians brings a unique blend of old-time mountain sounds and foot-stomping, original tunes.

Having independently released their first album, Shallow Grave, in the fall of 2023, Front Porch has been captivating audiences across the Midwest with their electrifying live performances. Expect to be swept away by their skillful instrumentation, where clawhammer banjo, ripping mandolin, and fiddle melodies take center stage.

As Ozark Highlands Radio puts it, "Front Porch delivers all the usual ingredients of bluegrass and folk but bakes them into a post-punk old-time acid jazz barn-burning bluegrass fusion that will have you jumping." Don’t miss out on this dynamic performance—it's sure to be a highlight of the Moonrise Bike Ride!
