Brian "Moj" Robertson
Late night, solo, delta style blues with a mix of John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins, Robert Johnson and Son House.
I do the vocals, of course, and usually I accompany myself on slide guitar, guitar or piano. There's some of my blue harp in there, too.
The goal is to write and perform blues that could have been recorded 50 years ago or 50 years from now.
I've played blues for 30 years and the name Dr. Mojo or "Moj" has stuck. I also wrote LITTLE BLUES BOOK with R. Crumb, sort of the blues guide to life. My new cd is Big Ass Buick and I edit BigRoadBlues.com with one of the great blues forum communities on the Net.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Lots of live music in and around Austin and at festivals all over the place.
Your musical influences
Like I said, from Robert Johnson and Son House to Lightnin' Hopkins and John Lee Hooker. The obligation, though, is to be yourself, not to try to sound like somebody you're not.
