Nick Moss and the Fliptops
Before Nick Moss met Jimmy Rogers, Jimmy Dawkins and Lurrie Bell, he met their musical offspring in the form of Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, Free, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Cream and other legends who drew their inspiration from Mississippi's Delta and the immortal treasures that sprang from his beloved Chicago. Moss has written some excellent songs and has has expanded his sound without losing his identity. He also plays covers of Cream's classic "Politician," Stephen Stills' "For What It's Worth," and Howlin' Wolf's "Louise." There may be no blues musician in Chicago under 40 who can match Nick Moss's rock-solid fidelity to older ways of making music. Moss and his Flip Tops, a blues super group if there ever was one, are every bit as exciting as the Paul Butterfield Band was during its heyday. Moss' music evokes classic Chicago in a way few contemporary artists achieve... an extra-long set with an encore that goes straight on 'til morning. Nick Moss and the Fliptops WebsiteMySpaceFacebook
