MY NEW CD IS OUT "TORN" Please visit WWW.BIGMOBLUES.COM to buy our CD Thank you :-) Maurice "Big Mo" Huffman. Born in Germany in 1960. Raised in Germany as a son of an American soldier and German Mother he was exposed to the Blues and Southern Rock by the Armed Forces Network Radio and developed his own style of blues with influences by Muddy Waters, Ray Charles ,The Allman brothers and other American artists that toured Germany in the 70's. Big Mo has a wonderful big band sound rooted deeply in the blues. He performs all original tunes with a powerful voice and tasty bluesy guitar. He is the winner of the 2004 Monterey Bay Blues "Battle of the Blues Bands" and 2 time winner of the Cammies award for Best Blues Band 2006 & 2007. His new CD "Torn" is selling worldwide and Big & The Full Moon Band perform regularly in Europe. Big Mo has also always loved certain styles of Country and those influences are heard on his CD Torn. Big Mo has no record label. He is working on his own. It is hard to label him with a certain genre. He has enough Blues originals to do pure shows but as you will hear on Torn he also has some great Pop and Country tunes even going to latin and Jazz. He calls all of those genre his home and each one of his original tunes have the unmistaken "stomach" feel as Big Mo calls it. Music from the stomach and soul. He has a great soulful voice and always performs with a great smile " I love his music and am looking forward to many shows with him" Lazy Lester Blues Artists with Alligator Records " Rolldown your sleeves: Good Rhumba clever chorus and hook tasteful slow section, tasteful duet with Lester on New Orleans, tasteful blues with horns and big production style on Mistaken, " Bruce Iglauer of Alligator Records "The self -released Torn CD boasts high production values and thoughtful songwriting and arranging".
