Few blues performers walk the walk to the degree of Chicago based guitarist/bandleader Joe Moss. One of the hardest working performers on the scene today. Not just an imitator of the music's glorious past, he strives to find his own sound and material within the styles he chooses to play. And the music world is taking notice. This year, Moss will have the honor of being inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. The band is tight, featuring some of Chicago's finest blues musicians. A talented singer, writer, and guitarist, Joe is a consistent and entertaining performer with a monster groove.

Blues and Jazz music is the United States highest original musical art form and it's our gift to the world!
In the past Classical artists like Beethoven, Bach and Mozart were commissioned by governments, royalty,the rich and churches to compose their music and this support allowed them to continue to create their art.
In the U.S. Blues and Jazz music is marginalized even though it is one of the great roots of American music. In particular it is our great original art form! One of the great things about Americans is that when something is brought to their attention and help is needed they roll up their sleeves and pitch in. The Joe Moss band is bringing this music into the 21st century and needs your help and patronage!
Help commission this CD and bring this music to the world !!!
HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN !
Your support enables us to continue doing what we were put on this planet to do. We are eternally grateful for each and every one of you and love you all. THANK YOU!!!
About Joe Moss:

A guitarist since the age of 15, Moss was given his passport into the blues world by Buddy Scott, who noticed Moss at a jam session at Rosa's Blues Lounge in Chicago. Soon, Moss was playing seven nights a week as a member of Buddy's Rib Tip band. Moss' guitar skills quickly became notorious on the local scene and made him an in-demand sideman. In 1996 Joe started his own band and has recorded and toured constantly to date. Some of the people he had the pleasure of playing with include: Buddy Guy, Little Milton,Willy "Big Eyes" Smith, Lurrie Bell, Zora Young, Charles Wilson, Lil' Smokey Smothers, Syl Johnson, Big Time Sarah, Barkin' Bill Smith, Lefty Dizz, Magic Slim, A.C. Reed, Billy Branch,Walter Scott, Hollywood Scott, Mike Wheeler, James Wheeler and Little Mack Simmons. Joe has backed these artists all over the world.
