Dexter and The Moonrocks at The Stage AE

Dexter and The Moonrocks do not deny their country music origins. In fact, their official website talks about them playing country music, just like any young group of musicians does in small-town Texas. Sticking to country music religiously, though, wasn’t something that was in the cards for them. That’s when they started experimenting with different sounds, lyrics, and all the works. What came out has a lot of the best of country music, particularly for live shows. When you’re standing around Stage AE on November 1st with your friends, you’re going to feel that welcome, friendly vibe that you get with country music. You won’t get judged for standing around with a beer, regardless of what you’re wearing that night. At the same time, songs like “Sad in Carolina” feature heavy indie rock vibes.

Honestly, one of the best things about this mixture of genres that Dexter and The Moonrocks have been able to create is that you can still get in your feels with these songs. Like traditional country music, some songs will evoke more somber tunes and talk about the sad part of life. At this point, though, Dexter and The Moonrocks’ need to add the word “sad” to their songs, and even tour names is a bit of an inside joke. They also can change the mood of a live event in a flash, playing one of their more upbeat songs. As mentioned, they can create music by literally hitting their palms against a van, so expect this night to feature a little bit of everything.

Without a doubt, Dexter and The Moonrocks is one of those bands that loves to interact with the audience. That’s why Stage AE and its large standing-room-only area fit them so well.
