She welcomes you to the show, thanks you for coming, and the band rips into its opening chords.

Plus, I want to learn, so I can be better.” It appears to be working. Mercedes Moore is currently juggling four major projects and her music can range from blues, gospel, and R&B to a boatload of classic rock and blue-eyed soul. This does not take into consideration the assortment of duo and trio sets, the occasional jazz venture, and an array of impromptu performances with local and visiting artists. “ …. read the rest at https://sandiegotroubadour.com/12256/ Visit: https://www.bardicmanagement.com/books-and-records/live-music/san-diego/mercedes-moore/july-26-2024
