Weather Big Storm

Weather Big Storm continues their momentum within the Denver music scene; but these rock ‘n’ roll specialists, and their blend of rock, blues and funk, are determined to funk up Denver even more. The band was founded one dark and stormy night when blues singer/songwriter, Mike Moore (Guitar/Singer), and music virtuoso, Juan Pino (keyboards), both sought shelter from the golf ball sized hail. “I moved to Denver after being a tech for Yngwie Malmsteen,” Juan Reflects. “Meeting Mike like that was so serendipitous. I met a great musician and we’ve been playing music together ever since”. After writing a few original songs it was clear things were clicking. “Juan has great ideas, and a producer’s ear,” says Mike. “My background is mostly blues, so Juan brought a lot of new style to compliment my own.” Elmer (drums) and Schuyler (bass) joined shortly afterwards. “These two are tight, and have great feel”, Mike recalls. “Their ‘in-the-pocket’ chemistry brought everything together”. With all the pieces in place, Weather Big Storm developed their Bar Rock sound: an energetic, groove-oriented style with brawny vocals and bluesy undertones. “We are definitely influenced by pioneers of pop music…Motown, R&B, funk,” Mike says. “But we’re a rock band, so we’ve got more grit, more oomph.” Last year Weather Big Storm was featured in Urban Life Magazine, as well as invited to play at the Sunnyside Music Fest. Currently they are working on their first official self-release. “We’re busy”, laughs Mike. “New songs, recording, playing-out…It’s all been really fun.” And when you see Weather Big Storm on stage you can tell they’re having fun. Blending bluesy grit, brawny vocals, and funky feel, the Denver-based band ‘Weather Big Storm’ bottles lightning with their bar-room rock.
