The homegrown sound of Moccasin Creek is the most progressive and raw voice to hit the music scene since Hank Williams Jr and Jamey Johnson. No softly crooning southern gentlemen here, just good ole boys from the scrubs of Palatka, Florida and Nashville, Tennessee. This is the real south and it isn’t pretty. Dismantling the current crop of gentlemen and sweethearts, they feed the intense craving for hard-lined lyrics depicting hard-lived lives. When you hear fist-punch poetry blended with knuckle-grinding guitar, you know you’re staring down the barrel of Moccasin Creek.
Jeff McCool (“Brahma Bull”)
This is one front man who has the talent to back up the attitude. Double-wide? Check. Livestock arm tat? Check. Mesh-back ball cap and skoal ring? Check. Jeff is 100% authentic redneck, but he’s also a former star athlete who holds a place in the Florida High School Athletics as the Class 5A Player of the year for Florida Football and still holds all passing records at Palatka High School. Jeff was a 2 sports athlete as he also excelled in baseball with 3 time All County Honors and being named All State his Senior Year. Jeff went on to play 4 years of College football at the University of Cincinnati and Charleston University respectively followed by a two year pro career in the Arena Football League.
In 2006, Jeff Formed the group Dubblewide and built up a large following throughout the State of Florida. In 2010, Jeff moved to Nashville to advance his music career and met Charlie Bonnet III on the Kinfoke Project. There was instant Chemistry and Moccasin Creek was born.
Charlie Bonnet III (“CB3”)
Turn to the page in the Webster Dictionary that gives the meaning of the word Rock N Roll and there will be a pictures of Charlie Bonnet III bashing someone’s face in with his guitar. There is nothing subtle about his playing style. He is wide open from start to finish. A former front man and founder of the Heavy Metal Band Disarray, Charlie’s roots are in playing hard and heavy. This ain’t Justin Beiber or the New Kids on the Block that you are coming to see.
Charlie has been involved in music since he was 5 years old. He grew up a few houses down from David Allan Coe and was hooked every since. Over the past 15 years Charlie has released 5 CD’s with Disarray and another 2 as a solo artist featuring his abilities as an acoustic singer and songwriter.
Early in Charlie’s career he worked for a promotions company and had the pleasure of working with just about everyone traveling the Country to include: Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, Def Leppard, Kenny Chesney just to name a few. He also had the pleasure of working on a few major productions to include: CMT Crossroads, CMA Music Festival and the CMA Music Awards.

Performed By: Jeff Mccool and Megan Rüger
Yea, I been going through a couple things
Head spinning on the porch while the birds sing
I try and get into his care free mindset,
time flies, getting old but i aint blind yet
A little life left and I'm a make the best of it
Where'd i go wrong is not the question at
hand, but where i went right and became a man
Kids looking up to me with grown folk crying
From the words that i spoken when i wasn't even trying
I wanna walk away but i dont know if i will let me
And if i walk away i dont know if i'll respect me
If i tried to walk away, would you let me
If i quit it all today, would you respect me
If i slowly start to fall would you hold me
See, they think I've got it all, but they don't know me
Sometimes I feel like my best is passed like
i poured out my soul and filled up that glass
Like i gave every ounce that i had to give
Like writing bad checks cause i had to live
Like going on the road when i felt like i was dying
Falling to your knees and you couldn't stop crying
Knowing that your time in the light is dim
Knowing that it's time for the fat to trim
Sometimes i feel like i keep on writing
Just to say something that you think's exciting
I roll like thunder i flash like lighting
Speaking from the heart while my chest is tightning
If i tried to walk away, would you let me
If i quit it all today, would you respect me
If i slowly start to fall would you hold me
See, they think I've got it all, but they don't know me
They dont have to know me as long as im true
Winning's not a trophy, this is what i'm telling you
My bodys beat down, my heads a mess
They got me lying down trying to beat the stress
But i throw on a mask, paint it with a smile
Fill another flask, and drive them miles
See, i love my fans without them i'm nil
And the hurt that i feel cant be fixed with a pill
Did i stay too long writing you these songs
Will you miss and respect me when im gone
You gotta realize that the clock dont stop
Is it wrong that i wanna go out on top
If i tried to walk away, would you let me
If i quit it all today, would you respect me
If i slowly start to fall would you hold me
See, they think I've got it all, but they don't know me

Yea, I been going through a couple things
I've been going through a lot lately
Head spinning on the porch while the birds sing
I feel dizzy and lost while everything around me seems happy and carefree
I try and get into his care free mindset,
I try to think like someone who is carefree and happy
time flies, getting old but i aint blind yet
I'm getting older, but I still have my vision and clarity
A little life left and I'm a make the best of it
I have some life left, and I want to make the most of it
Here i am burnt out now confessing it
I'm admitting that I'm burnt out
Where'd i go wrong is not the question at hand, but where i went right and became a man
The important question is not where I went wrong, but where I went right and became a mature adult
Kids looking up to me with grown folk crying
Children admire me while adults cry due to the words that I've spoken unintentionally
From the words that i spoken when i wasn't even trying
I said things that were impactful, even when I wasn't trying to make an impact
I wanna walk away but i dont know if i will let me
I want to leave this situation, but I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to do so
And if i walk away i dont know if i'll respect me
If I leave this situation, I'm not sure if I'll be proud of myself
Sometimes I feel like my best is passed like
Sometimes I feel like I've already given all I've got
i poured out my soul and filled up that glass
I've given everything I have to give
Like i gave every ounce that i had to give
I've given my all
Like writing bad checks cause i had to live
I did things I wasn't proud of because I had to survive
Like going on the road when i felt like i was dying
I kept going even when I felt like I couldn't
Falling to your knees and you couldn't stop crying
Breaking down and crying uncontrollably
Knowing that your time in the light is dim
Realizing that my fame and success may not last forever
Knowing that it's time for the fat to trim
Realizing that it's time to cut out the unnecessary things in my life
Sometimes i feel like i keep on writing
Sometimes I feel like I continue to create but for no reason
Just to say something that you think's exciting
I create just to make something that other people will find interesting
I roll like thunder i flash like lighting
I move quickly and with intensity
Speaking from the heart while my chest is tightening
Speaking truthfully and honestly despite the discomfort
They dont have to know me as long as im true
As long as I'm being authentic, it doesn't matter if people truly know me
Winning's not a trophy, this is what i'm telling you
Success is not an object, it's a mindset
My bodys beat down, my heads a mess
My body is tired and my mind is overwhelmed
They got me lying down trying to beat the stress
I'm trying to fight the stress and anxiety that I feel
But i throw on a mask, paint it with a smile
I put on a facade and pretend to be happy
Fill another flask, and drive them miles
I drink alcohol and drive long distances to avoid my problems
See, i love my fans without them i'm nil
My fans mean everything to me
And the hurt that i feel cant be fixed with a pill
My pain and sadness cannot be cured by medication
Did i stay too long writing you these songs
Did I overstay my welcome with my audience by continuing to create?
Will you miss and respect me when im gone
Will people remember me fondly after I pass away?
You gotta realize that the clock dont stop
Time keeps moving forward whether we want it to or not
Is it wrong that i wanna go out on top
Is it selfish to want to leave things on a high note?
