The duo Midnight & Moonshine with Rich Petko and Michele Linn borrow from the song books of artists like Ray Charles, Bonnie Raitt, John Hiatt, Little Big Town and Maren Morris as well as a handful of originals. With poignant lyrics set to an Americana style this duo enjoys uncommonly complementary vocal tones through which they tell their stories. As a classically trained pianist Rich applies his 35+ years of experience playing in multitudes of Country, Rock and Blues bands to the Midnight & Moonshine format and the magic happens. The pair have a genuine respect for the music; their personal connection to one another clearly shows and translates easily from the stage to the audience.
