Comprised of multi-instrumentalist
Frank Meyer and vocalist Elena Antinelli, Paper
Moon Shiners write and perform well-crafted roots,
ragtime, early jazz, blues and folk music that is
a clear balance of wit, depth and spirit.
Meyer, a seasoned musical veteran (BB King,
Luther Tucker, Gary Primich) met Elena, who had
never sang before, at Quiet Valley Ranch, home of
the Kerrville Folk Festival in 2007. Stupefied at
her lack of knowing about her own innate talent
when he heard her singing along with the radio he
slowly convinced her to challenge her glossophobia
and to sing in public. The
ensuing result was the birth of Paper Moon Shiners
in 2011.
The duo’s gleefully irreverent stage presence and
unlimited creativity are turning heads while their
versatility and musicianship consistently take
center stage. Two very unique voices, Elena and
Frank fearlessly brace their songs with the
perfect bone structure of rhythm grounded in
groove. The couple’s self-produced, self-titled
2013 debut album was well received and gave them a
foothold for several U.S. and European tours. In
2017 they shared festival rosters with Ray Wylie
Hubbard, Steve Poltz, Billy Strings, James
McMurtry and more. https://papermoonshiners.com
HFMS is delighted to have them share the fun with
us this spring!
