 M. Minor III
          As a  Viet Nam Veteran and independent unsigned artist  Mr. Minor has established himself as a major influence on the USA and Canadian music scene. 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.

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 I refuse to deviate from my response which is "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 and the rewards come I am assured to not be not caught up in the delusional trappings of Fame & Fortune. I leave the handling of those issues to a select few trusted individuals."

Bands assembled as a Frontman include A Celebration  of Soul, All That n' Moe  & current project The Big Moe Sho' promoted by M24/7 Entertainment.
 

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 is so dynamic you will never forget an evening with this artist and his Real Deal showmanship.

I refuse to sing another artists song, if I can't do a rendition as well as or better than the original. It's disrespectful.
