Band Websitehttp://www.mokauffey.com
Band MembersFor the solo shows, there is just me and my guitar/voice and some foot tapping. Harmonica Buzz and I are competing in the Blues duo challenge in Detroit in March and will continue to do some shows around Michigan. My main guitar player for duo work in Canada is Max Bent (also on my cd.....and NOW he is producing the new CD!). In Colorado it's Michael Reese, in New York it's Tim Costello. I call my band "The Mo' Kauffey Experience", because i have a somewhat rotating cast of characters that bring their own flavor to the mix. In Canada add Peter Turpin on bass, in Colorado add John Flores or Kim Stone on bass.
InfluencesToo many to list them all…….Gary Fowler, Larry Dennis, Marty Spritzer, Martin Ortega are some you never heard of, but were big in my life. Ones you probably have heard of include:Leadbelly, Lightning Hopkins, Roger Miller, J.J. Cale, Johnny Cash, Hot Tuna, John Mayall, Van Morrison, The Moody Blues, The Beatles are a few.
Sounds LikeTake a blender throw in some Hot Tuna, a little Johnny Cash, some J.J. Cale, a little Mark Knoffler, some Dylan and little John Prine and you’ll get the idea.

Quantcast My top friends are mostly musicians I feel worth the listen. I am at home in Guelph, Ontario getting ready for a wild and prosperous summer. I am putting bookings together for the fall, winter and beyond; and the progress on the new Mo' Kauffey CD continues.! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Now, moving on to the mp3s on my page, there are studio cuts and live recordings from different gigs with different folks. Details are all in lyrics tab (players/dates, etc)The newest is: "Sittin' in La La" recorded this past June. "Railroad Work Song" is with a 5 piece band at the Crystola Inn, and is a very fortunate capturing of live Mo'!. I hope you enjoy! I play in the hallway between the folk and the blues blending elements of blues, jazz, country, New Orleans and rock and folk music, not something I try to do, it is just what I do. Think J.J. Cale meets…………….somebody. I write songs and I adapt others songs to my style, trying to pay homage to what moved me, yet trying to add my own flavor to the recipe. I am not the kind of player that has played with everyone, yet I have been blessed by attracting some incredible players to join my party. The new Mo’ cd is chugging along nicely with Max Bent at the producer's wheel and should be done sometime this summer, stay tuned for Mo' details on that. so if you can't come see me live then GO SEE SOMEBODY! You can also hear tunes on my site mokauffey.com or see Mo' videos at http://www.youtube.com/mokauffey 'Blues to ya'. Oh..........yea...... I have shared the bill and/or the stage with folks like John Mayall, Honeyboy Edwards, The Amazing Rhythm Aces, Bill Kirchen, Colin Linden, Otis Taylor, Mel Brown, Wendell Fergeson and Rock Bottom.

Hey guys,



I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child,
Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all
war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these
children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the
whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.

You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.



http://www.liamtitcomb.com/warchild/



I've also got this “widget” for a FREE download of 5
songs. Please send it on to your peeps – to help raise awareness of War
Child and the tour.





You can also embed this widget in your facebook, myspace etc. I’d really appreciate that.

We have permission from Sony ATV publishing to give the songs away from now till the end of the tour... So let’s work it.

Thanks,



-Liam
