The establishment has been a landmark in the Kerr Street com- munity for nearly 13 years. Owners Jane and John Marlatt were previously heavily involved in organizing live music out of oth- er bars, but had a vision of creating a permanent home that would fea- ture this live entertainment night- ly. "We built a following and we built a reputation among musi- cians and players. We were looking to find a place we could just turn into purely a music venue," said John. "We were fortunate to find this location, which used to be a Portu- guese men's club." John said he and Jane did some research, visiting other music halls, to learn what worked and what didn't in terms of setting up a home for live music. Moonshine offers a little some- thing for everyone with John not- ing performances can range from punk to country, folk, funk and rock and roll. "The only time we stray from the music is once a month when the Oakville Improv Comedy The- atre does an improv night here," said John. "That's it. Early in the week, Monday night, is always an open jam. Tuesday night is always an open mic night. Wednesdays and Thursdays we have either a song- writer night or we have touring artists coming through looking for an extra gig on their tour. Friday and Saturday nights are pretty much exclusively bands." John said the focus at the Moon- shine is on indie original music. Past performers have included Juno Award winner Alex Cuba,Juno Award winner Alex Cuba,J Tom Cochrane, Jim Cuddy, theTom Cochrane, Jim Cuddy, theT Sheepdogs and Ed Robinson of the Barenaked Ladies. The Moonshine has a policy of respect for its artists where for the songwriter and quieter shows, those in attendance are asked lis- ten to the music and save their con- versations for between the songs or after the songs. "We don't have a television here. We try to minimize the distrac-We try to minimize the distrac-W tions," said John. "People are pretty good about turning their cellphones off and things like that during shows. Dur- ing Friday and Saturday nights when we have the bands it is a lot noisier, but that's fine. That's what bands want." John said the food offered by the Moonshine is pretty simple. The facility doesn't have a kitchen, but John does have a bar- becue, which he uses to prepare burgers, sausages, pulled pork and chicken. "It's all very simple. All very good," he said. "If someone is looking for a three-course meal, they're not get- ting it here unless they want three burgers." John said patrons love the chicken wings he serves, which he attributes to them being barbe- cued and not deep-fried. The Moonshine is fully licensed by the LCBO and those who attend can find everything from tea and coffee to beer, wine and liquor. The facility has a capacity of 60 people and there is a cover charge to enter, which ranges from $2 for the open mic night to $50 depend- ing on the artist. John said generally the cover is $10-$20 with these funds going to the artists. For more information visitFor more information visitF www.themoonshinecafe.com.
