"Moonshines" is a song recorded by Canadian country music artist Owen Riegling. He wrote the song with Daryl Scott and Jesse Slack, while it was produced by Brad Hill.[1] It was the second single off his debut major-label extended play Bruce County.[2]
An uncredited article from Harmony Hay described "Moonshines" as "not just a song", but "a vivid painting of life away from the city lights, where the making of moonshine isn't just a job, but a family heritage and a source of pride", noting the use of "stark imagery".[3]
Live performances
On November 17, 2024, Riegling performed "Moonshines" during the kickoff show at the 111th Grey Cup at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. The game was broadcast in Canada on CTV, TSN, and RDS, and on CBS Sports Network in the United States, while Riegling's performance was later uploaded to YouTube.[4][5]
