Brothers Lazaroff w/ Mo E on Keys Tonight at Wash U Kemper Art Museum




I've only been with these guys since November but its been great from day one. Influences include
Dylan, the Beatles, traditional old school country, the Dead, reggae and many many more.

Always eclectic and genre bending I'm proud to say I'm a member of this band. Fresh off a great run at SXSW the Brothers are poised to do some great things!

Jeff Lazaroff- vocals, guitar
David Lazaroff- vocals, guitar
Grover Stewart- drums, vocals
Teddy Brookins- Bass
Mo Egeston on keys



Bridging the geographical gap between St. Louis, Missouri, and Austin, Texas, BROTHERS LAZAROFF lay waste to the idea that long-distance relationships can't work!

With their first record PURE DELIGHT (co-produced/engineered/mixed by David Sanger, 6-time Grammy winning drummer of ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL) and a second record on the way, The Brothers combine experimentation with conventional folk elements, and in the process effectively find a way to reconcile traditionally opposing musical genres to create a refreshing sound. BROTHERS LAZAROFF do this with their unique blend of roots music that breaks down the barrier of time, rather than the barrier between musical styles.

Guitars, mandolins, computers, organs, banjos, drum machines, fiddles, steel guitars, horns, pianos, scrambled up rhythm sections; all working toward this effect. And yes, Hank matters but so does Scratch and of course all three Bobs and all those from Canada and those from before the time of telephone poles and those who've grown up with them as if they're just another family of trees.

BROTHERS LAZAROFF take the approach that everything matters, but nothing should be taken seriously.

Soul Alliance- Emerging Artists Vote for us please!

Dig it! There's a new dance band in St. Louis called the Soul Alliance.
TSA is new on the scene and would love to have your vote in the Alive magazine Emerging Artist competition. As a rule we don't believe in the competition thing but we want everyone in the area to know about our availability for the upcoming event season so we're going for it. Just follow the link http://www.alivemag.com/emergingartist/ and scroll down until you see our video slideshow. Click the Vote button and you're done. No signup required.

Rock Steady (Remix) by the Soul Alliance


The Soul Alliance features CocoSoul on vocals and is led by Maurice "Mo" Egeston. They are well known for their work individually as original music artists for the past 15 years.

CocoSoul is a dynamic singer, songwriter, musician, actress and vocal coach. She lived in Atlanta for over 10 years where she worked with numerous producers as a songwriter for major artists. In 2005 she was voted Best R&B Singer in the RiverFrontTimes Music Poll. Currently Coco is active with Cafe Soul which was voted best Live Open Mic in the RFT 2007 (with Angela Brown and Nichol Stevenson).

Pianist, composer and educator Mo Egeston's presence on the scene began on Washington Avenue during the beginnings of the St. Louis loft district club scene in the mid 90s. He's led groups as diverse as Invincible Groov (house band at the Green Room) Vargas Swing and Urban Jazz Naturals. Since Vargas Swing in 1997 he collaborated with Dawn Weber(.com) culminating in the popular club act mo & dawn. (paused in 2008). As well as the Soul Alliance you can find mo with Lamar Harris, Urban Groov Project (live house) and the Brothers Lazaroff (Jam, Folk and Americana).

The sound will focus on bringing the sounds of the club dance floor to the live stage. Mary J, Aretha, Lisa Stansfield, Chaka, Crystal Waters, Beyonce, Lenny Kravitz, Robyn S, Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder and original grooves. The Soul Alliance plays em like they wrote them so expect a dynamic show

TSA performs as a duo, trio or full band and is handled by Doug Hall at Talent Plus. 314.421.9400

Catch us at Lumiere Place-Aqua March 13-14 and April 3 & 4. Also at the Fashion Week Event at Lumiere Theater as a part of the Macy's Runway Show on March 28.
