Goldfield Trading Post in Roseville was straight fire on Thursday night as the Moonshine Bandits stormed in for the kickoff of their “Boots on Bars” tour—and man, did they bring the party! With support from local heavy-hitters Diversity of O.N.E. and the soulful swagger of Brandon Hartt, the night was a full-throttle ride through rock, country, and straight-up good vibes.
Diversity of O.N.E. opened the night with a sonic boom. Hailing from Sacramento, they cranked out a fierce mix of hard rock and metal with a message that hit just as hard: “WE ALL ARE Diverse and WE ARE ALL One.” These guys didn’t just warm up the stage—they lit the fuse and kicked off the night with thunder.
Next up, Brandon Hartt took the stage with his drummer, a MacBook, and a truckload of heart. Channeling legends like Merle Haggard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Waylon Jennings, Hartt delivered a genre-blending set of Southern rock and outlaw country that hit you right in the soul. Gritty, honest, and smooth as Tennessee whiskey.

Then came the main event: Moonshine Bandits. From the jump—with a salute to America—they had the crowd in the palm of their hand. Rockin’ their Black Flys and reppin’ Los Banos, CA, they brought that signature blue-collar bravado that defines Shiner Nation. Between anthems, shout-alongs, and a stage full of fans brought up to dance, the energy was wild. Their blend of country rap, patriot pride, and no-holds-barred showmanship turned the night into an all-out celebration.
Compared to last year’s Aftershock set, this Goldfield gig felt personal—like a family reunion with loud guitars and cold drinks. It was boots up, beers down, and a packed house of grinning fans shouting every word. If you missed it, you missed a damn good time.
