The Moonrise Cartel is an original folk rock group from Bridgeport, Connecticut that stirs the soul with songs that are both timeless and universal. Al Pascarelli’s deeply personal songwriting, guitar, and gravelly tone, Stephanie Harrison’s incredible voice & phrasing, and Sean O’reilly’s gorgeous piano arrangements come together like a warm, sweeping wind over a crashing tide.
Memorable lyrics, soaring vocal harmonies and just the right notes blend together in beautiful alchemy to stay with you long after the final song. Formed just in 2022, The Moonrise Cartel has already shared bills with and opened for Buddy Guy, They Might Be Giants, Sophie B Hawkins, Pete Francis (Dispatch) and Carsie Blanton.
