mo pair 03/26/06

So Mister Mo Pair is a local boy from Texas.

Here's the bio from his site -
As lead singer/guitarist for two of Austin's more interesting bands (Grass, Groovin Ground) many Austin music fans know Mo Pair as an animated, chapeau-topped rocker. His solo work is from a whole 'nuther place.

Native American chants and songs, recounts of magical journeys and of people and loves lost are ingredients in a Mo Pair stew. He is often accompanied by other sympathetic musicians and singers that add a symphonic texture to his music.


I was lucky enough to catch Mo Pair at a small bar in the Montrose area in Houston and see him play through his "Old Pink Floyd Happy Hour," a collection of Barrett and Gilmour/Rogers tracks from the first few Pink Floyd record. Amazing source material that's luciously translated into a solo acoustic performance.

The bar that they played at didn't actually have their own PA, so Mo and his harmonica-playing friend, Wayne, set up a couple of amps that were powering the guitar, vocals and harmonica. Fortunately, both amps had effects outs and we ran a couple of 1/4inch cables straight out of each amp straight into the Microtrack. Awesome.

Mo Pair has several shows coming up in South East Texas - so if you are around go check him out. List of shows - here.
