Welcome to my
home on the Internet!
 My name is George Moye and I
am a Bass guitarist, Rhythm
guitarist, and music arranger, and have been playing bass for 30 years.
I've been influenced by some of the world’s Greatest Funk legends in music
history. These include George Clinton and Funkadelick, Roger Troutman and
Zapp, Lakeside, The Ohio Players, The O’Jays, and Bobby Womack to name a
few.
Being
a Native from Lorain Ohio a western suburb of Cleveland is what initially
sparked my interest in music. I grew up watching these entertainers
developing their craft and making music history.
There was a dance hall called
the Elks Farm in Lorain, its location was back in the woods on the
outskirts of the town. It was there we would perform and observe these
artists as we developed our own craft and played numerous sold out shows.
I put together a family band
consisting of my twin nephews and myself. Russell Moye playing rhythm
guitar and Randy Moye on drums. We had our first gig at the school talent
show, we were in the 4th grade. By the time we attended High School we had
recruited more members and the family band became ten- pieces strong and
performed locally and regionally as The Fabulous Techniques.
 I've lived in Minneapolis
Minnesota for the past 20 plus years and I love the music scene here.
There is a lot of great talent in the Twin Cities area. I hold the bass
chair for local and national artists and I am what you call a first call
sub. That means that I never know what band I going to play with. It could
be anything ranging from, Funk, Latin, County, Blues, Hip-Hop, Jazz or
Gospel.
I have had the opportunity to
experience different styles of music from an early age and I sincerely
enjoy every aspect of the craft. I have performed live, recorded and held
the bass chair for Sam Butler, former lead guitarist, for Grammy award
winning gospel artists, The Five Blind Boys of Alabama. Sam also has a
release with Keith Richard’s of the Rolling Stones and his latest release
with his wife and kids The Butlers.
Recently, I recorded with Dan Maharr, former lead guitarist for Grammy
award winning country artist Billy Dean, In addition, over the years I
have recorded with lifetime friend Keybordist Mark Leach, music director
for Grammy award winning Legend Buddy Miles.

 I have had the blessing of
recording with my biggest influences yet, my children. My daughter
Malina Moye
who has been singing, playing guitar, songwriting, and arranging music
since she was 9-years-old. (Check out her website at
www.Malinamoye.com) as well as my sons,
Tyrone
and
George Moye Jr.
along with female rapper A. Tadesse A.k.A. Conritst on the CD entitled "Layzie
Bone presents Conrtist Entrapment book one." (Check them out at
www.conrtist.com
)
It is my humble opinion that these young artists inspire, excite and
deliver a sense of freshness not often seen today.
Last but not least Giving all
the Glory and Praise to God, I hold the bass chair for the
Rosemount United
Methodist Church. I play with the praise team called the
N.O.W. Team, every Sunday in Rosemount MN, when I have the opportunity.
Stop in anytime and experience it.
