There's
nothing laid back about Old Blue Moses, variously described as "A fusion
of Blues Rock and an exocet missile "(Blues in The News) and "A
veritable mountain of musical delight" (Time Out), this 9 piece band of
blues rock stompers owe their roots as much to their local pub landlord
(who brought them together) as well as to the heroes of their blues
orientated youth.
Formed in 2001 by enigmatic founder members
Martin Hayles (Lead Vocals), "Rocket" Ron Hall (Acoustic Rhythm) and
Mick "Fingers" Brennan (Lead Guitar) they were rapidly augmented by a
wealth of talent culled from the southern counties. There was no plan,
no master design, but what gradually appeared, and has been going down a
storm is the wall of sound that has become their trademark. The enigma
that is OBM, is that they defy pigeon holing, blues, rock, soul, jazz
who knows .....but what is apparent is their love of music and their
ability to connect with audiences who crave live music.
Now entering their fourth year of performances
around the UK, they have built an awesome reputation for their live
shows. Hardly surprising, with over 40 years experience in the industry.
