Since 1989, when Ron Esser became the owner and manager of Moondogs in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it has been blessed with performances by late greats such as Johnny Copeland, Luther Allison, and Junior Wells; current stars before they became Blues household names, including Keb Mo, Susan Tedeschi, and Shemekia Copeland; as well as serving as a haven for Walter Trout, Tinsley Ellis, Jimmy Thackery, and their fans. After all these years, he has never lost his love of live music.
