Joe Moe's MAINLAND is filled with often curious, always beautiful songs and amazing musicians and artists including Van Dyke Parks, Dylan Hostetter (Chanticleer), Ogre (Skinny Puppy) and many others. MAINLAND was arranged and produced by Cheez Masheen (Michael Webster, Marc Doten and Brian Woodbury). "Joe Moe is descended from Hawaiian music royalty - grandson of pioneers Louisa and Pulu Moe and grandnephew of Rose and Tau Moe. Hawaiian traditional and pop culture strings the songs on this debut solo album into a melodic lei of Cinerama scope. Similarly, the magical pull of the island homeland threads through the lives of Southern California's large Pacific-Islander community living in the shadow of that ersatz Mauna Loa, Disneyland's Matterhorn. Former lead singer of a number of experimental SoCal ensembles such as The Native Shrubs of the Santa Monica Mountains, Joe Moe's musical 'ohana here includes high priests of contemporary music of the American southwest. Farther west. Keep paddling." - John Goss (cd liner notes) for Moe info VISIT: www.gojoemoe.com
