Boston-based Garlic & Moonshine developed roots in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts when long-time friends and collaborators Matthew Rowen (acoustic guitar), Kirsten Lamb (upright bass), and Avi David (electric guitar) came together in January 2009 to record their debut album In Waves. Their eclectic sound is grounded in creative songwriting and strong musicianship. In Waves is at times playful and bouncy, at others sparse and introspective. With just three members, Garlic & Moonshine's is a substantial sound- sometimes ambient, sometimes two-stepping, sometimes infectiously groovy.
