Moxie Brown was a
progressive southern rock and jazz band based in Arlington, VA.
We had original songs and material from artists
such
as The Allman Brothers, Paul Pena, Phish, Santana,
Miles
Davis and more. See our set list for more
details.
After more than 3 years, we suffered the loss of 3 players at
once, all of whom were forced to leave due to outside circumstances
in their lives. We decided at that point to end it in April 2006.
It was a fun ride!
Our lineup on the 2005 recordings is:
Glenn Fink - Organ, Vocals
Steve Sturtevant - Guitar stage left
Greg Burns - Percussion
David George - Guitar stage right
John Ward - Bass
Jon Bennett - Drums
You can still hear 5 original songs and some cover song recordings
on the
sounds page.
