*The Bands*
BILLY WYLDER
From the front-lines at Standing Rock to the archaic streets of Jerusalem, the Sahel Desert all the way to Carnegie Hall, music has been the thread and source of strength for Billy Wylder. The band features Avi Salloway from Bombino/Hey Mama/Avi & Celia joined by an inspired cast of top-notch musicians who have performed in over twenty five countries. From 2013-16, Salloway toured the globe, performing with Bombino, the Tuareg guitar virtuoso from Niger, Africa and is now bringing new and old songs to life with the Wylder family.
Billy Wylder, like their peers, the David Wax Museum and Rubblebucket, bring sounds from around the world to meld with their American roots, taking the listener on a journey from bayou to borough, desert to dreamland. The band has toured extensively, performing and collaborating with renowned artists including Jack Johnson, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Bombino, The Low Anthem, and Pete Seeger.
The members of Billy Wylder are all charismatic artists and educators who have taught and performed in the Middle East, China, Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, North America and the Caribbean including concerts at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, Newport Folk Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Montreal Jazz Fest, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center.

WOVEN
Woven gives new life to old soul. Inspired by Hindustani musical philosophy, Ethiopian jazz, and the lush psychedelic tunes of the 60's, Woven's dynamic, uplifting sound leaves listeners with a mysterious, yet familiar feeling. Like a basket composed of a simple interlocking pattern of unique individual strands or a blanket which warms you in the dark of night, Woven transcends the sum of its parts to nourish life.
FIDEL MORENO
Fidel is a Native American water protector, ceremonialist, and cultural educator. He identifies as Huichol, Yaqui, and Mexican American. A celebrated documentary filmmaker, Fidel received an Oscar nomination in the Best Short Documentary category as co-producer and co-director of Wiping the Tears of 7 Generations, and a three-time Telly Award winner for The Peyote Road and 500 Nations. Raised in both old Mexico and the Midwest area of the United States, Morenos work in documentary film and cultural education has focused on the struggle and dialogues of indigenous people and communities in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Central America. We are proud to have Fidel share his music and prayer at the Moonshine!
