Mo E Music. UG Project @ Lola tonight, Soul Alliance/CocoSoul tomorrow for brunch.

Greetings and Happy Summer,

Not sure what happened to Spring.... First we'd really like to thank all of those who voted in this year's RFT Music Poll.  Brothers Lazaroff was honored as the best Americana band (non-traditional).  Stay tuned for an announcement about the new Brothers album later in 2010. 

Also I'm excited to announce the debut of the mo E All-Stars.  No I haven't lost it and started yet another band.   The All-Stars is an extension of the mo E Trio-groove edition and features memebers of the rhythm section as opposed to the traditional lead singer or horn player.  We are debuting under the Arch at Fair St. Louis July 3.  See below for poster.

Tonight UG Project brings their unique brand of deep house mixed with jazz, Latin and soul back to Lola.  Showtime is 9:30.  Lamar Harris won't be with us but I'll be joined by Duane "Jingo" Williams and CJ Conrod as usual.  Special guests may be in the house (heh heh) as well.

UG Project Live @ Lola

Mo Egeston Presents: the Soul Alliance Trio featuring CocoSoul Live @ Lola Jan 24

Greetings,

Lola is a new music venue in the downtown Washington Ave loft district.  Every Sunday through March I am hosting a Brunch Music series called Mo Egeston Presents.  This gives me an opportunity to feature many of the artists that I began working with in 2009.

We had an incredible time this past Sunday with Brothers Lazaroff.  This Sunday January 24th I'm thrilled to bring back the Soul Alliance Trio featuring CocoSoul.  CocoSoul will be joining me at noon.  Sean Holland (bass) and I will do a set of soul-jazz and groove based instrumentals from 11-11:45.

Early arrival is recommended.

Also this weekend I join DJ Nune and a possible guest artist TBA with UG Project.  UG Project incorporates the drive and groove of electronic dance music with jazz, funk and soul.  We perform using a combination of horns, vocals, vocoder, keys, software and hardware sequencing.  Also at Lola we hit from 9:30- 1.   We may be shooting video so stay tuned for another announcement.  Saturday Jan 23

And finally An Evening With  Brothers Lazaroff this Friday Jan 22.  at Riddle's in the U City Loop.  Americana, Folk, Indie Rock.  This band has been getting some very nice buzz all year and we look forward to hitting the studio in February.

During the day, find me with my piano teacher hat on with a brand new location at Teipen Performing Arts.  Conveniently located in the U City/Clayton area.

Peace,

This week w/ musician Mo Egeston

Hi there,

Just had a cool weekend with Lamar Harris in Memphis. Saturday night...and Sunday morning. ( I wear all sorts of hats these days).

Trying to get back to doing some writing (see the player) and I've added a few dates to the calendar including a CD release party on June 27 with Brothers Lazaroff (see the hats comment). Also I hope to be announcing a monthly rotation on Sunday nights for the UG Project very soon.

If you're interested in the Soul Alliance featuring CocoSoul please contact Doug Hall at 314.421.9400 (Talent Plus).

And besides electronica...here's what I've been listening to all morning. Something about a Prince slow jam makes the world right for a moment at least.

Call My Name




Peace. Please support the arts and education. And definitely arts education.

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
