Miss Myra and The Moonshiners to perform in Fairfield

The Fairfield Arts & Convention Center will host Miss Myra and The Moonshiners for a concert from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7.

The event is part of the Fairfield Concert Association. According to a news release from the FACC, Miss Myra and The Moonshiners are a formidable 5-piece swing band bringing a fresh female-driven perspective to traditional New Orleans and hot club jazz, playing a broad repertoire of classic tunes from the ‘20s and ‘30s and inspired originals.

“With powerful vocals, a smoking horn section, and sweet rhythm, they are guaranteed to lift your spirits and set your feet to tapping,” read the announcement.

“Miss Myra is a threat on every level,” the news release continued. “Her golden voice will bring you from rock bottom to ecstasy and back while her driving guitar rhythm holds the Moonshiners together. Her style of hard hitting swing guitar is reminiscent of Django Reinhardt. She also draws influence from legendary blues guitarists such as Leadbelly and Blind Boy Fuller. If you let her near a piano, you’ll hear virtuosity from ragtime to Lizst.”
