Moonshine Bandits Bring The Outlaw Party To Buffalo Iron Works
The Moonshine Bandits rolled into Buffalo Iron Works and turned a regular Wednesday night into a full throttle country rap throwdown. With rowdy crowd favorites like Red White and Boozed, their signature blue collar swagger, and a wild fan-filled finale, the duo delivered a show that felt more like a party than a concert.
On a packed Wednesday night at Buffalo Iron Works, the Moonshine Bandits turned an ordinary evening into a full throttle celebration of outlaw culture, country soul, and unapologetic patriotic pride. The crowd was amped up and eager, feeding off the high energy set from Dusty “Tex” Dahlgren and Brett “Bird” Brooks, who have been blending country and rap since 2003.
From the first beat, the duo commanded the stage with their signature fusion of keg thumping beats, hip hop swagger, and gritty backwoods bravado. Their grassroots approach and fearless showmanship have earned them a loyal following known as the Shiner Nation, and the energy in the room proved just how devoted those fans are.
Shows like this one embody the band’s blue collar bravado and patriotic pride, creating a celebration for their loyal fanbase. The beer soaked sticky floors of the venue, that evening, only added to the gritty, dive bar vibe that matched the music perfectly. The setlist included crowd favorites like Dead Man’s Hand, I’m A HellRazor, and Ridin’ Dirty, which had the audience singing along at full volume.
The performance was electric. A standout moment came during the final song Wild, their 2023 collaboration with Josh Todd, Stevie D. Female audience members were invited on stage to dance and sing along, turning the venue into a full blown party, complete with
While their high energy sound has helped pave the way for genre bending artists like Jelly Roll, HARDY, and Struggle Jennings, the Bandits remain true to their roots. Their rebellious spirit runs deep. Tex’s great grandfather bootlegged alcohol in baby carriages during Prohibition, and the group has fully embraced that outlaw legacy. Now they are preparing to release their own legal 99 proof Outlaw Moonshine in retail stores, through Valley Spirits Distillery in California.
Their newest album Confessions of an Outlaw dropped in March 2025, and with over 2.3 million monthly streams and 300 million YouTube views, it is clear the Bandits are only gaining momentum. Their hard work has landed them number one spots on platforms like CMT and praise from Billboard and Rolling Stone.
Whether you are a die hard fan or just discovering them, a Moonshine Bandits show is an experience worth having. Loud, wild, and proudly unfiltered, it is more than a concert; it is a full scale celebration of the outlaw lifestyle.
