MoonShroom on ‘Take a Trip,’ Grassadelic Twang & Creative Freedom

🎶 Psychedelic folk-country duo MoonShroom — made up of Lily B Moonflower and Jake Keegan — join the show to talk about their debut album, Take a Trip, out now. We dive into their musical roots, the story behind forming MoonShroom in 2022, and how they crafted their signature “grassadelic twang” sound that blends rock, bluegrass, indie folk, and Americana.

Lily and Jake reflect on their unique upbringings in creative communities, the role of visual identity (yes, neon mushrooms included), and how their music is all about connection, joy, and artistic freedom. They also share the experience of recording the album live in Kansas City, the inspiration behind their single “Party on the Moon,” and what it’s like performing at festivals across the country.

From songwriting and dobro playing to high-energy shows and what’s next in 2025, MoonShroom brings a colorful, soulful presence to every stage — and this episode is no different.
