Moonstruck Management is a modern music management company that focuses on the country and bluegrass music business, incorporating artist development, management, growth, and booking into one controlled business.

Peter Keiser comes from a very successful and forward-thinking background as Vice President of Marketing for the famed restaurant chain Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. During his tenure there, Keiser grew an extremely creative and thriving music program, showcasing artists through co-branded products that were marketed and sold only at the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.

Josh Trivett comes from outside the music industry with a background of 13 years in professional golf as a Tour player, National Spokesperson and Senior Vice President of Tour Operations at two different successful golf club companies. After his departure from the golf industry, Trivett stepped into the music business by managing famed bluegrass legend Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, resulting in increased visibility of bluegrass music to audiences worldwide. Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out have long been ones to handle booking and management "in-house" so making the move to partner with Moonstruck Management was a thoughtful process. "We've had a wonderful 20 years of playing some of the best festivals and venues in bluegrass music", stated Russell Moore. "We began making some changes in our business model over the last few years such as signing with Rural Rhythm Records and adding a publicist to our team. Aligning ourselves with the right entities has proven to absolutely be the right decision.

When we began thinking about the growth we would like to achieve over our next twenty years, bringing in a management team just seemed to be the natural progression for us. We are thrilled with our new relationship with Josh and Peter and are expecting wonderful things for all of us." Josh Trivett added, "We are so excited to be a part of the Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out team. We have been big fans of Russell for years and love what he and IIIrd Tyme Out have created in their sound and style. We are looking forward to assisting them in growing their brand, visibility, and partnerships in and outside of the music world. To say the least, we are honored and excited about the future together!" Moonstruck Management will assume the booking and management role for Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out effective immediately.
