High Tide, Higher Intentions: Moonshiner Collective Brings New Music to Up+Adam

from Up + Adam with Adam Montiel · host Adam Montiel

Up+Adam with Adam Montiel - March 3, 2026 - Sponsored by PortabidetLocal Americana rock with heart, history, and just the right amount of swagger.On this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with Dan Curcio of Moonshiner Collective to talk about the band’s brand-new EP, Power of Now, and what it means to revisit songs written 20 years ago with a little more life lived and a little more space between the notes.From recording in Los Angeles during the chaos of the fires to mixing at Sonic Milk in Cambria, Dan shares how this six-song project became both a creative reset and a full-circle moment. They dig into what it’s like to rework Still Time favorites like “High Tide,” how intentionality changes with age, why leaving space in music matters, and how collaboration with Nick Larson of Proxima Parada and local favorite Kate Armstrong helped shape the new sound.Dan also performs two brand-new songs live in studio, “End of the Sunset” and “Falling,” and gives us a preview of what to expect March 20 at SLO Brew Rock. Carbon City Lights open the night, Visit SLO CAL will be filming across the Central Coast, and every ticket purchase includes a free download of the EP before its official release.This is more than an album release. It is a celebration of community, growth, and the power of being present.• Moonshiner Collective Album Release ShowMarch 20SLO Brew RockAll AgesDoors 6:00 PMShow 7:00 PMTickets $20 advance / $25 at the doorFree EP download with ticket purchaseGet tickets here:https://my805tix.com/e/mcalbumrelease?fbclid=IwdGRjcAP42CVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeHRUoCEe5LTnlPeCEnOwNlBcduBP2SsSosqKenSEDFcjkcTh7yHHBUex2iO0_aem_pkzg_kuj3PQ7mOfdQemHIgWhile you are planning your Central Coast calendar, here is another one to circle:Learn more about Moonshiner Collective:https://www.moonshinercollective.com/Follow Moonshiner Collective on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/moonshinercollective/*********PORTABIDET: UP+ADAM IS AN OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON FOR PORTABIDET - USE THIS LINK FOR UP+ADAM LISTENERS TO LEARN MORE AND GET YOURS!• Wine You Want to Listen To: Find Your GenrePresented by Timbre Winery and Libretto StudiosHappening SundayTimbre Event with Cal Poly EIM Students Info HEREListen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:Official Website: adammontiel.comApple Podcasts: Up+Adam on Apple PodcastsSpotify: Up+Adam on SpotifyiHeartRadio: Up+Adam on iHeartRadioYouTube Music: Up+Adam on YouTube Music********CHECK OUT OUR WOODS HUMANE PET OF THE WEEK!********ADAM’S TEDX VIDEO IS HERE!********FOLLOW ADAM ON INSTAGRAM*********Sincere Thanks to the current supporters of Up + Adam.
