Scott and Eric King, AKA The Brothers King, grew up on the mean streets of North Miami, the shadow of I-95 and the Golden Glades Interchange looming nearby. As youngsters, when not fighting relentlessly, they found common ground listening to the smooth, calming sounds of Megadeth, Metallica, and a whole array of hair-metal bands. It wasn’t until the mid-90s, when they started to realize there was something to all those folk records their dad owned. After playing together in numerous alternative bands that didn’t quite pan out, they decided that they would begin performing as a duo. At a Brothers King show, you’ll be regaled with songs about lizard mating rituals, incineration, demon storytellers, grandmothers with secret tattoos, occasional serious stuff, bellyflops, and much more. They blend their decades of eclectic musical tastes to create songs that often genre-hop, but are always rooted in their love of telling stories. 

Luna Star Cafe will be closed from Sunday, Dec 21st through Thursday, Dec 25th.

Join us, Saturday December 27th as we reopen for our monthly Open Mic series!

Happy holidays to all! Please check back for any updates…

JOHN CAMACHO

JOHN IS RETURNING TO THE LUNA STAR STAGE FOR A SPECIAL NIGHT WITH FRIENDS AND A SURPRISE GUEST!
A fixture on the South Florida music and poetry scene for years, John Camacho brings his friends together for a farewell concert at one of the best venues to hear music anywhere, The Luna Star Cafe. His resume as poet and musician is considerable. Beginning with local heroes The Goods–the band he formed and co-fronted with his brother, Jim–through early 00s idiosyncratic human juke box cult faves, Mongo, to his current Christian band, Messiah Has Come, John has been writing and performing (with high-energy virtuosity), poetic and powerful pop rock songs with sometimes poignant, sometimes comical lyrics for the better part of two decades. He’s an award-winning poet whose work is published in literary magazines throughout the U.S. and Europe. A long-time paladin of our verse and music scene, John is saying goodbye to South Florida, and he’s asked some special friends to help him say sayonara in style. Don’t miss this very special night!

BOB LIND

Today, 50-plus years into his impressive career, his songs have been covered by more than 200 quality artists. He’s writing and singing better than ever. And he’s playing his fantastic music all over the United States and Europe.

“Come and see why this engaging poet / guitarist / philosopher / singer / wise-ass has endured in the sometimes-cruel and always-fickle music business for [five decades]. But be prepared to feel emotions you may not have let yourself feel in a while – feelings that may scare you a little. His songs hit the heart like a wrecking ball!”

Robert’s 2004 CD “What Are We Fighting For?” was released on Fountainbleu Records. The 4 song CD was a mix of original gospel, blues, folk and rock tunes that examined democracy, nationalism, freedom, security, corporate greed, and war. The politically charged lyrics were a bit of a departure for Ross who is primarily known for blues.

ROBERT ROSS

Robert’s 2004 CD “What Are We Fighting For?” was released on Fountainbleu Records. The 4 song CD was a mix of original gospel, blues, folk and rock tunes that examined democracy, nationalism, freedom, security, corporate greed, and war. The politically charged lyrics were a bit of a departure for Ross who is primarily known for blues.

In March of 2002, Fountainbleu Records released “Sleight of Hand” which showcased the best material from two previous Ross recordings. The CD was re-mastered by Dennis Ferrante (Elvis, Aerosmith, John Lennon). Guitar World called “Sleight of Hand an excellent new CD.” Blues societies and radio stations in dozens of cities around the country loved it too.

DARREN BRUCK

Darren did his fellowship in Funk during the 90’s in the bars and clubs of NYC and Atlanta, including The Wetlands, Mercury Lounge and Chameleon Club.  Inspired by Dr Funkenstein and reared in the house of  Rhythm-n-Blues, he brings a style that he refers to as Boogie Blues.”  A pinch of “boogie blues”, a cup full of the funkness that is the rhythm section and a big helping of the signature M-tone’s horns . . . that’s the recipe for the Mysterytones explosive sound. 

Michelle John

Michelle John is an eclectic performer who started off singing in her youth gospel choir to later perform on stages all across the world, including on The Voice UK, the White House, and Buckingham Palace.
