Jonathan Pennington and Moonlight Mile are an American Alt-Country Bluegrass Rock band formed in Sandy Hook, Kentucky in 2021. The band was formed by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Jonathan Pennington and dobroist Shane Johnson. Jonathan and Shane attended the same church in the early 2000’s and, after many years, reconnected in 2021 to form Moonlight Mile. Their music is inspired by a wide variety of artists and musical styles—from The Rolling Stones to the Stanley Brothers. Moonlight Mile proudly and intentionally are a reality check for mainstream country and fedora-wearing folk country hipster posers alike. They are a voice for those many impoverished and destitute in rural Appalachia, gripped by the sting of addiction, brow-beaten by fanatical religiosity, and oppressed by fascist regimes.
