Liesman plays in two bands which are Stella Blue’s Band and The Mooncussers. He says the name Mooncussers comes from the group Henry David Thoreau stumbled upon when he was exploring Cape Cod. The Mooncussers were land-based and perhaps the laziest pirates known to man. They used to light fires on the beach to trick ships into thinking they were lighthouses. On moonless nights, the ships would crash on the reefs and the “pirates” would then grab the booty. Liesman has been a big fan of the Grateful Dead since he was 15 years old. Recently, in an event to raise funds for veterans he got a chance to play with Bob Weir, one the band’s founding members in a benefit at the Sweetwater Music Hall near San Francisco.
