Gary Wickizer has been doing his "Folk-n-Blues" roots style of music for more than 30 years, playing his brand of country-blues in the style of "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" since before the guy was lost. Mo' Kauffey was born in 1999 and music became the full time career, 22 years after his 1st professional performance in 1977. Mo' performs about 150 dates a year
from coffeehouses to festivals.
Mo' had released four independent CDs since 2000 with radio airplay across North America, through Europe, and as far away as Australia. His fifth, titled "Whatcha' Gonna Do" was released in December 2003.
He's done TV and live radio both as an interview and a musical guest.
Mo' has shared the stage with multiple Handy Award recipient Mel Brown and Kitchener's own Shawn Kellerman. He has shared billing with such greats as Lucky Peterson, Otis Taylor and Eric Burdon.
Many influences have blended to create Mo's unique style. When he plays,
Greg Brown or Mark Knopfler are two that might come to mind. Fellow musicians seem to gravitate toward him, want to play along on his songs. What is it about Mo' Kauffey that captures the audience and makes him fans wherever he plays? Maybe it's the man; maybe it's the voice or
the delivery. Whatever it is, it works!
From ballads to blues, Mo' Kauffey is an artist that entertains his audience, keeps them smiling and wanting more.

"......... his skills echo the subdued power of J.J. Cale, Willie Nelson, and any number obscure folkies from the first half of the 20th century." Jason Schneider, Nightlife Magazine
"Mo' has a strong foundation in the blues but he does not let himself get labeled strictly as a blues man, he is a musician."
Doug Randall, Bluesfest International

Very impressed with the Mo' Kauffey CD
author: Glen Wickizer
I bought this CD without knowing what he sounded like. We have the same last name and I too play guitar so when I seen his name I thought what the heck. Well!I was pleasently surprised to hear how great this CD is.

Music that pulls you in and can't help but feel a part of.
author: Rosita Wickizer
Whatcha Gonna Do? Sit back and feel, not just hear. On this CD Mo's songs make you feel as if you are a part of what he is singing about. You will laugh with the song Charlie, have happy tears when you listen to Celebrate, commiserate with Faded Love,and the title track Whatcha Gonna Do encourages one to think. Each song brings an experience we have all, at one time or another, had. It's obvious listening to Whatcha Gonna Do that the words and music come from the heart. Beautiful harmonious blend from the back up musicians. A CD one can listen to over and over in any scenario, whether you need something upbeat to get your feet going or you need something mellow to kick back with, this is it! Just say Mo' to music!!!!

Whatcha Gonna Do With Those Oh' Brother Blues?
author: Harmonica Buzz
This is a charming and honest album with so many songs that will sink right into your soul. Mo' Kauffey has that rather rare and unique ability of being able to invite listeners and other musicians into his songs so that they can really become a part of it. His band's interpretation of Sixteen Ton's is a must hear ... but it is the warmth and slow burning flame of Mo's originals that really carry this album. "Whatcha Gonna Do" (track 3) and "Celebrate" (track 4) defines what he does, "I Just Sing" (track 6) and "Charlie Hates the Blues" (track 7) reaffirms this while "In the Snow" (track 11) is a song for the times that asks you to discover your rightful and peaceful place in this world. Whatcha Gonna Do??? Just say Mo to music.
