The new addition to the already successful duet was well received and the name was changed to reflect the new direction that was found. Moonlight Hoodoo Revue was born then, and their audience has been growing steadily ever since.

Although from very different musical backgrounds (or because of it), they found that they complemented each other enormously and enjoyed each other styles as well as the good company. The music that emerged was compiled from this disparate diversity, and while it could tip its hat to many genres, it couldn’t quite be pigeonholed into any one of them. A mutual love for fast paced intricate playing styles and unusual arrangements set the tone for the new group, and they follow this direction today.

They did realize that with the guitar, mandolin, fiddle and slide combination, with its treble range and the penchant for high-energy music that they shared, that a solid bottom end was needed, so the search to complete the musical range was on. Luckily, it wasn’t long before bassist Rueben Estrada (playing both upright and electric) was recruited, who came from a rock and Latin jazz background. Finally the current line-up of the Hoodoo was in place. They had a foundation to build upon, and build they did.

For the past three years the Hoodoo have been playing clubs, benefits, Farmer’s Markets, festivals, gatherings and events of every kind, slowly building a strong loyal fan base who love the Hoodoo’s combination of bluegrass, rock, folk, jazz and swing. They are also eagerly awaiting the upcoming release of their new cd, which features an eclectic collection of original music and standards done in the inimitable hoodoo style, what many call "hoodoo-cizing it."
