MoonShiner turns 26

MoonShiner celebrates 26 years of publicationThe November 2008 edition of MoonShiner Magazine marks the 26th birthday for the Japanese language magazine. Congratulations MoonShiner!

Moonshiner (translated page) is the premier bluegrass and acoustic music magazine in Japan. Featuring product reviews, interviews, and lots of articles about vintage and custom instruments, the magazine has long been the source for information to those who live in Japan and are fascinated by bluegrass music.

This 301st issue features some familiar cover art for anyone who paid attention to this year’s IBMA World of Bluegrass. It seems our friend Robert Yonke has gone international with his art!
