Lester Quitzau & Mae Moore | Bands from Canada on tour in Europe

The first time Canadians Lester Quitzau and Mae Moore performed as a duo was opening for Taj Majal in 2002. They were received with standing ovations. There was clearly an electricity between them.

The chemistry is all the more interesting when each artist has already several CDs, with Juno nominations, and more than a dozen years into their own careers.
Lester brings his trademark groove and sweeping blues vocabulary , and Mae her acoustic jazz and familiar folk feel to this project. This work finds both artists reaching new levels, making music with an openness and depth that comes only with maturity.

Lester has been described as "a mellow guy who throws down a heavy groove".His songs have a way of sounding old, but invigorated. He also performs as part of the Juno award-winning Tri-Continental.

Mae Moore emerged from Ontario coffeehouses, moving to Vancouver in the 80s where her music found a home in indie folk clubs. Her songwriting skills eventually landed her a deal with CBS Records and a Juno nomination for Oceanview Motel. Singles like "Bohemia" established her as a respected artist at Triple A radio in the US. After 3 releases and sales over 100,000.,Mae returned to the indie route.
