Beer Tent

Moxie Blitz is a 5-piece cover band (Rock and Pop) from SE Michigan.  The members have names and histories...see below if that interests you.  We could also use a bunch of buzz words, but you've heard that before.  Bottom line:  We aim to bring a diverse and loyal following to each venue, while ensuring that regulars stay longer and spend more.  We have fun, crowd has fun, you make money, rinse, and repeat.

WE ARE IMMORTAL ROCKSTARS!!!
