Moxie, a group of musicians with tons of ties to this area, just finished recording their new album and I am super excited to hear it when they release the EP later this summer!

The group features musicians Mitchel Paulson (rapper/vocals), Jess Bro (vocals), and Devin Farlow (drums/vocals). After years of performing as solo artists and with numerous Twin Cities-area bands, the three have joined forces to create a sound unlike any heard on the local scene.

The three have about 30 years of music experience under their belts. Farlow also plays with the Chubbs and Herschel and the Detainees. Bro is one-half of the Twin Cities-based acoustic duo Jess and Zeb. Paulson began building his solo career when he lived in Rochester after college a few years ago.

"It's great that we all bring something different to the table," Paulson says. "Devin is an amazing drummer and amazing vocalist and he brings the rock vibe for us with his indie rock background. Jess is easily one of the most amazing vocalists I've ever heard in my life. She can sing and knock out lyrics like I've never heard before and is an amazing writer and bringing something different there, as well. And I've developed a lot myself over the years, and continue to grow as a lyricist."

"So we are doing things right now that nobody else is doing. We have a whole hip-hop-soul-indie-funk vibe going on. We don't know how to bills ourselves because we are such an eclectic mix of so many different genres," Paulson adds.
