    Ronnie Dunn, the main singer, was in seminary school and he was going to be a preacher. He was also playing country music at the time and he would perform in bars so the school kicked him out because of it. Brooks and Dunn was HUGE in the 90s. They walked away with SO many awards at every awards show they were a part of. You REALLY need to check out their song Believe if you haven't. Also, Red Dirt Road and Hillbilly Deluxe.

    It's Ronnie Dunn, He's the main singer. Regarding their real life personalities, Kix Brooks is actually the wild outspoken crazy one of the two. Ronnie Dunn is more of a quiet laid back easy going type. But man, his singing is so strong and expressive! Next you should do their cover of B.W. S Stevenson's "My Maria" You'll love that one I promise!! Brooks & Dunn have sooooo many great songs! They are indeed country royalty!

    'Neon Moon' is absolutely a country classic. Austin Brown of Home Free did a version of 'Neon Moon' also, fyi. He also did a duet with Tim Foust (bass guy from Home Free) of 'My Maria' by Brooks & Dunn, which is absolutely incredible.

    Ronnie Dunn had an incredible set of vocals, and his range was CRAZY. lol I saw them perform at a night club in Myrtle Beach once. They had the whole place rockin' for sure. 🎶😂 Here's another one of their very famous songs, if interested. "Brooks & Dunn Perform - My Maria / CMT Crossroads" Fun Fact: Brooks & Dunn were entered into the Country Music Hall of Fame at the same time as Ray stevens and Reba McEntire in 2019. This was fun, and I enjoyed chilling with you for min. Britt. Now you have a wonderful day too.

Ronnie Dunn is the more established vocalist of the two and has done numerous collaborations with other singers. One that I think you should check out is his duet with Leroy Parnell, called "Take These Chains". Leroy Parnell is an accomplished country music singer who plays a MEAN guitar. If you liked this song, I guarantee you will like their duet on "Take These Chains". 👍👍❤❤

    Ronnie Dunn is the singer's name. Neon moon is slang for a jukebox.

      No it’s not. The neon moon is neon lights from signs like beer signs inside a dimly lit bar.

    I used to karaoke this song ALL THE TIME back in the day, I have a very similar voice to this guy.
    But eventually I had a similar experience to what the song is about. I haven't been able to sing the second verse since without choking up 😑
