"Nick Moss's muscular, electric energy combines jaw-dropping guitar, gruff, soulful vocals and impassioned songwriting. Gruenling is a contemporary harmonica master...impressive, genuine and fresh-sounding." --Living Blues
Chicago guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Nick Moss is a bona fide bluesman down to his soul, a 30-year veteran of the city’s take-no-prisoners blues scene. Moss paid his dues gigging in Chicago’s rough and tumble West and South side blues clubs under the tutelage of some of the city’s greatest blues luminaries. He's received 22 Blues Music Award nominations, including this year's coveted Band Of The Year Award. New Jersey’s Dennis Gruenling, considered among today’s best blues harmonica players, has been nominated this year for the Blues Music Award for Best Instrumentalist - Harmonica.
THE HIGH COST OF LOW LIVING features ten hard-hitting original songs, eight by Nick and two by Dennis. They're all deeply rooted in the blues tradition with a touch of old school rock ‘n’ roll. Produced by guitarist Kid Andersen and Moss, the album is a joyous sonic blast of pure blues power.
