M. Minor III
As a Viet Nam Veteran and Independent Unsigned Artist, Moe Minor has established himself as a major influence on the USA and Canadian music scene. With a proven track record, Moe has performed as a vocalist with many great artists and speaks highly of them all. Both Clyde Roulette and the late Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown helped him through some hard times in Canada. He credits BB King aka "Pops" for giving him some of the greatest advice in his life. He has truly LIVED the Blues. This experience, coupled by being graced with the gift of "Perfect Pitch" is a remarkable winning combination.
Philosophy:
"I don't focus attention on "The Brass Ring", but fix my attention beyond it, much like a martial artist does not focus on the pile of bricks or whatever the obstacle before him". Many an interviewer has posed the question about the financial aspects of being an Independent Artist and Moe refuses to deviate from his response, "if I focus on the dollar, I lose my Music, my Art, my Craft. When I keep my focus on The Music, The Performance and my Calling as an Entertainer the rewards will come and I am assured not to be not caught up in the delusional trappings of Fame & Fortune. I grant the handling of those issues to a select few trusted individuals."
Projects:
Bands assembled as a Frontman include
A Celebration of Soul, All That n' Moe , The Big Moe Sho'
and the ALL NEW SHOW. . .
The Moe Minor Experience
True to his roots, but never to be underestimated as just a "Bluesman" this artist continues to keep music fused to entertainment and won't settle for being categorized or kept in the box. Every song is filled with raw emotion and every show so dynamic you will never forget an evening with this artist and his "Real Deal" showmanship.
Current Project:
"WHY" (2008) Single, Video and the Autobiography of a Chicago Blues & Soul Man.
Encapsulated, these songs are Old School Originals created by Moe that bring back the flavor of the Soul Greats!
