Photo of Blood Moon Mafia Blood Moon Mafia "We highly recommend Blood Moon Mafia. We hired them for our daughter's 14th birthday party and they were amazing! Incredibly talented group of artists, from the singer to the drummer to the guitarists, they more than delivered. Our daughter curated a playlist for them to use and they put together a very enjoyable mini concert and everyone was blown away. They more than met our expectations and we would definitely hire them again!"
