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 has truly LIVED the Blues. This experience, combined with the gift of "Perfect Pitch" is a dynamic winning combination. Yes ladies and gentlemen as one follower put it "I think you are one of the very last of the greatest vocalists on the planet!
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 questions regarding the struggle of Independent Artists and Moe refuses to deviate from his response, "If I focus on the dollar, I lose my Music, my Art, my Craft. When I focus on my calling as an Entertainer the rewards will surely come. Therefore, I am assured to never get caught up in the delusional trappings of Fame & Fortune."
Projects:
Celebration of Soul All That n' Moe The Big Moe Sho'

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. Song delivery is 100% REAL and filled with raw emotion. Every performance so dynamic you will never forget an evening with this artist and his authentic old school showmanship.
Current Project:
Project "WHY" (2010) Single Plus upcoming 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!
