Mosey Beat, a New Jersey based power trio, brings their Prog-Rock Fusion Dance sound to The Sunday Sessions Project.
Mosey Beat has been tearing up the bar scene playing their unique brand of fusion dance music. They hold local audiences enthralled by their live performances. “Mosey Beat’s mission is to allow for every moment to be enjoyed with passion while keeping the groove steady, words heavy and the good vibes plenty.”
They formed in 2012 but they can trace their origins back even further to the brothers Taylor and Blair growing up and playing music together as kids. They played many instruments and as Taylor started writing music they realized that they needed to form a band to play their original material.
You may think you know what you are going to hear live after listening to Mosey Beat’s albums but they like to change it up with improvisational jams that can get you swaying and dancing. They have a strong thumping bass line provided by Dave Abraham. Dave steps out of the pentatonic, a musical scale with five notes per octave, box and expand the colors of the notes to bring a different sound every time they play.
Blair O’Connor started to play drums at age 5. He took private lessons and played in the High School marching band. He went on to play guitar but eventually found his way back to the drums.
The band writes the music together by using each of their own strong building blocks and layering it with Taylor O’Connor’s lyrics. Taylor describes his lyric writing in a very cosmic way. He starts with a vibe and he lets the lyrics open up to a feeling outside the body. Musical
connectiveness. Although Taylor played acoustic music for years he has fully embraced the electric guitar and is capable of “blending genres and pushing boundaries”.
Mosey Beat is thrilled with their studio albums and their live album “Live @ Levitt Pavilion”.
