Creativity pours freely from every ounce of Gary “Moses Mo” Moore. Whether he’s igniting scorching hot riffs from his appropriately red guitar with Mother’s Finest, working in the studio producing his own unique brand of rock or sharing the international stage with his fellow musicians from “Carl Carlton and the Songdogs”, 

Mo (as he is affectionately known by both friends and fans) quite simply creates. With roots in Dayton, Ohio, Mo followed his parents lead. His Dad played professionally for a while in a Kentucky bluegrass band and his Mom for family gatherings. His defining moment came when he was asked by Joyce “Baby Jean” Kennedy and Glenn “Doc” Murdock to go to Miami. “At the time of my high school graduation,” Moore said, “there were only two choices for me: go work in one of the many factories located in the area or play in a band. I chose (to) play in a band.”

 It was in the clubs of Atlanta, GA in the early seventies, that he and his fellow band mates honed a sound that not doubt was instrumental in renaming the city “Hotlanta”. He worked with the band Illusion featuring Jay Willard, Paul McCoy, Tom Reed, Barry “B.B. Queen” Borden (another former Mother’s alumni), and Bobby Chouinard. 

In 2002 Moses Mo released his first solo effort entitled “Cartoon You”. With the exception of ‘Highway Child’ and ‘Nowhere’, he wrote and recorded the songs on the CD within a six month time frame. According to Mo, “What I bring to the stage or studio is the RHYTHM; it's the only thing that matters to me. It has always been about the rhythm”. 

It’s quite obvious that Moore is equally at home on the spot lit stages of the world or behind the scenes in the studios, on his own or blending with the bands in which he plays, writing songs or building cars: a down-to-earth guy with a stellar ability to do one thing well… 

CREATE.

Wäre Alanis Morisette nach einem mentalen Gangbang mit Tool und
QOTSA schwanger geworden, dann wäre dabei der gleiche Geist entstanden, der heute im Kopf der Sängerin Daniela Fusi spukt. Und
hätten John Lennon und The Edge ein gemeinsames Kind zeugen
können, hätte Angus Young als Mutter nach 9 Monaten wohl Gitarrist
Manfred Pachl auf die Welt gesetzt. Was bei so einer abenteuerlichen
Mischung herauskommen kann, davon zeugt jeder einzelne Song dieses
unverwechselbaren Songwritergespanns. Zusammen mit Benedikt Rauch am Bass und Matthias Bäuerlein am Schlagzeug hat sich nun eine perfekt eingespielte Bande geformt, die inzwischen jede Bühne zum Klingen bringt.

Dabei ist es vor allem die brachiale Ehrlichkeit und der todernst gemeinte Spaß am Musizieren, der den Funken überspringen lässt. Steinharte Rocker werden an ihren weichen Kern erinnert, nur um im nächsten Moment von brachialeren Klängen zum Schütteln der Haare animiert zu werden. Frei nach dem Bandmotto: „Wir sind alle hier“ ist hier also auch für jeden etwas dabei! Mit Sicherheit der ein oder andere Ohrwurm, und auf jeden Fall ein Satz,dessen Wahrheit sich gnadenlos ins Hirn brennt…
