The Silvermoon Band was established in 2005 by three veteran musicians—Dave Smid, Stan Schmedding, and Dave Smith—whose combined years of experience and enthusiasm for live performance laid a strong foundation for the group. For the past 21 years, they've remained true to that initial vision, fusing southern rock, country rock, and modern country into a versatile, crowd-pleasing sound.

Their current lineup, solidified eight years ago—includes the dynamic vocals and instrumental talents of Erin Eairleywine-Ganzel (Fremont), Eric Johnson (Morse Bluffs), and Jeff Nelson, skillfully managing their sound.

Together with the founding members; this team delivers tight performances with rich harmonies and the kind of stage chemistry that keeps audiences returning for more.

The Silvermoon Band perform at a variety of venues and events—from Firemen’s Balls and weddings to fundraisers, county fairs, ballrooms, and street dances. Whether it’s an intimate wedding reception or a large festival, they customize the set to suit the event and the crowd.

As they celebrate two decades of making music,the Silvermoon Band remains devoted to delivering great songs, authentic performances, and uniting people through the power of music.

"We’re excited to announce that we’ll be providing entertainment for all alumni of Fremont High School’s Class of ‘86 at their 40th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, July 11th, at The Heights Venue in Fremont, Nebraska. If you're looking for a band that can get everyone dancing, pay homage to the classics, and keep the smiles going, you’ll experience that spirit at every Silvermoon show."
