About

Members: Moe - Guitar/Banjo/Vocals/Ukulele/Piano/Percussion

Sounds Like: Ingrid Michaelson, KT Tunstall, The Head and the Heart, Feist

Bio: MoE bewitches us with her intelligent, thoughtful lyrics, reminiscent of Ingrid Michaelson accompanied by a soupcon of jazzy blues evocative of Kate Melua, while managing to forge a style definitively her. You’ll likely be smiling and clapping or snapping and crooning along to her infectious j... See Full Bio

“Come for the Temptation of the Devil, stay for The Kraken and fall in love under The Summer Rain. The artist's musical journey is so well represented in this initial album of MoE's. The versatility and downright fun vibe from the singer, are sure to make this a perennial favorite. To be able to own such art and access it at one's leisure is priceless, but thankfully the world is full of miracles and you can own such a treasure for the price of a coffee run. I eagerly await the sophomore album of this talented lady.”

— Beth Beck, Local Act. Universal Soul.

“This is an interesting record from start to finish without seeming scattered, which is hard to say about a lot of releases these days. Songs like Trouble and Temptation of the Devil are frenetic and gypsy-like, while Summer Rain is so beautifully deconstructed to simple plucked notes over pensive, yet hopeful lyrics. For The Love will remind you of an old sea shanty, while the strums of a ukelele on songs like Sooner Than Soon will transport you to the islands. My favorite tracks seem to be a hybrid of all these styles and will capture you with beautiful, upbeat melodies and intelligent lyrics. Her choice of talented friends who know and share her vision bring it all together in something that sounds like anything but a rookie release. All this has kept this disc in rotation since I got it, and I don't expect this or any of her upcoming work to be gathering any dust.”

— Vince Kacick, MoE. Heck Yes.

"I can't get enough of that "Lifelines" album. From beginning to end, it is diverse, and I never get bored listening to it. It is my #1 pick for the Pacific NW".

— Cracky Muletrain, Top Picks with Cracky Muletrain

“This album is exactly what every music lover needs in his or her music collection. This is a collection of feel-good music that was written, arranged, and performed by one of the Pacific Northwest's greatest local artists. You will find yourself listening to every track on this record again and again.”

— Jeff Ross, CDBaby.com Review

“This album is fantastic top to bottom. The lyrical content is clever, never trite, and smacks your right in your soul. It's reminiscent of 20's and 30's jazz, folk and blues, but contemporary in it's themes and delivery. MoE cleverly takes you through emotions that are exceptionally, human. ”

— Rebekah Ann Curtis, A fantastic listen, lyrically and vocally and instrumentally.

"She plays very heartfelt tunes that are generally up-beat and catchy and have touches of her spontaneous humor all throughout. After listening to her tracks, you can really get a feel for who she is as a person and her outlook on life."

— Ryan Rood, MOE - First Order of Business

Ask MoE anything...

Q: What if I only have 58 trillion dollars??????

A: ONLY 58 TRILLION?! Good God man, you better start penny pinching quick, less you find yourself on the street. I mean, it's 2012! 58 trillion is nickels and dimes in this day and age. How do you manage?
