Moors & McCumber are so good.

All good fun and clearly highly skilled instrumental abilities tailored to support the songs all the while as they deliver nonstop thematic, poetic, hook laden lines, delivered in an interwoven melodic and harmony vocal style that is at once seamless and comforting as it is electrifying and unique.

Hyperbole? Sure, I get it. See a Moors & McCumber show and let’s see what you remind me I missed.. or ask their fans, they travel from all over the place to make shows. Moors and McCumber are so good. - Jim Gilmour (Southview Arts Recording Studio)
