Rockbox presents The South Austin Moonlighters hosted by our very own Outlaw Firm!

The Moonlighters deliver their own unique brand of Americana music with organic, show-stopping vocal harmonies, incredible musicianship, and well-crafted, heart-felt songs.
The joy of making music is a tangible and contagious part of the Moonlighters’ live shows. They are often compared to The Eagles, Little Feat, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young—but the Moonlighters have a voice all of their own.
The band started in 2011 when Lonnie got together a group of local music veterans to occasionally play together for the sheer joy of making music. Pretty soon it became evident that something special happened when we played together, and the band—which was originally meant to be a moonlighting side-gig for all of us—became our main gig.
Those of you who know us know that our success has come from working as a team. We hold each other up and inspire each other to keep pushing and challenging ourselves to be our very best at all times. We all sing and write songs. We take turns leading the band, singing harmonies and coming together to lift each other up.
At the end of the day we all love making music, sharing it with people and basking in the joy that our audiences reflect back to us.
The Outlaw Firm is the creation of three singer-songwriters who have worked together informally for over 25 years – John Arthur Martinez, John M. Greenberg and Mike Blakely. In early 2022, they decided to finally make it official and name their trio. John Arthur Martinez said “Blakely, Greenberg & Martinez” sounded too much like a San Antonio law firm. John M. Greenberg said it was more like an “outlaw” firm. The name stuck and The Outlaw Firm has been touring their brand of Texas music for a year now to rave reviews.
Almost all the songs played live by the trio are original tunes written by one or more of the band members. All three outlaws play rhythm guitar. John Arthur Martinez adds percussion on some songs, John Greenberg plays killer lead guitar and Mike Blakely plays rhythm and lead mandolin. All are gifted vocalists and most tunes take advantage of the three-part harmonies that have become a trademark of The Outlaw Firm. These three long-time Texas music pros have recorded more than 30 albums combined, so they have plenty of original material from which to choose.
