From StageOne Sellouts to The Warehouse: The Moonrise Cartel Headlines FTC October 10.

Get Your “TMC” Fix as Folk Rock from Black Rock Takes the Next Big Step at Fairfield Theatre Company. 


Fairfield, CT: The Moonrise Cartel is returning to Fairfield Theatre Company on Saturday, October 10, but this time they’re taking a big step forward — headlining The Warehouse at FTC for the first time! 


For those who have been following this Black Rock-based band, the move to The Warehouse should come as no surprise. The Moonrise Cartel has sold out StageOne at FTC twice, sold out Park City Music Hall, and most recently drew a crowd of more than 600 people at Black Rock PorchFest.


The Cartel is growing — and growing fast. 

Now, they’re ready for their first big headlining show in The Warehouse, and Fairfield County is invited to be part of it. 


Folk Rock from Black Rock 

Known for their signature “Folk Rock from Black Rock” sound, The Moonrise Cartel blends folk, rock and Americana with powerful harmonies, thoughtful songwriting and the kind of live energy that has steadily built the band a loyal following throughout Connecticut. 

And those fans are showing up. 

From selling out StageOne not once, but twice, to packing Park City Music Hall and drawing 600+ people at Black Rock PorchFest last month, TMC continues to prove that Connecticut music fans are ready for more. 

On October 10, they take the next step. 


Join The Cartel at The Warehouse 

For the first time, The Moonrise Cartel  will headline The Warehouse at FTC, giving the band a bigger stage and their growing fan base a chance to come together for what promises to be an exciting night of Connecticut live music. 

Opening the night is the talented Dr. B and The Remedy, setting the stage before TMC takes over The Warehouse. 

If you've caught The Moonrise Cartel before, you already know why their following continues to grow. If you haven't, this is the show to change that.
