Tony Moffeit
Tony Moffeit
Tony Moffeit is the blues poet from Pueblo, Colorado, who was the winner of the prestigious Jack Kerouac Award from Cherry Valley Editions for his volume of poetry, PUEBLO BLUES, now rare and out-of-print. He was also the author of two other volumes from Cherry Valley Editions: LUMINOUS ANIMAL (New Orleans poems) and NEON PEPPERS (Hank Williams poems). His 1995 volume, POETRY IS DANGEROUS, THE POET IS AN OUTLAW from Floating Island Publications, introduced outlaw essays and some early roots of the philosophy of Outlaw Poetry. Moffeit and poet Todd Moore founded the Outlaw Poetry Movement from 2004 to the present through books and chapbooks by the two poets, e-mail correspondence between them, and poems, essays, and manifestos in publications such as ST. VITUS PRESS AND POETRY REVIEW, POESY, SMALL PRESS REVIEW, CHIRON REVIEW, ZEN BABY, DESERT SHOVEL REVIEW, and on www.m-etropolis.com. Moffeit is the author of twenty additional poetry volumes, including TONY MOFFEIT: GREATEST HITS from Pudding House (2004). He has also been the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship in poetry and was the winner of the Thomas Hornsby Ferril Poetry Prize. Moffeit performs his original blues songs and poems with guitarist Rick Terlep, often accompanying himself on conga drum. Tony is also a visual artist who uses a unique process of turning photographs into stunning works of art that are an integral part of the poetry and music of the Outlaw Movement. Tony’s artwork has been shown in several Southern Colorado galleries and is featured on the cover of his latest CD "Outlaw Blues Revolution".

Peter Burg
Peter BurgOriginally from the coast of California, Peter Burg lives in the mountains of Colorado. Influenced by the beach sound and pop megalopolis culture of LA and juxtaposed with the pure simplicity and uncomplicated life style of a rather isolated mountain town, he has been bending and twisting country and blues of Southern Colorado into his own brand of songstering. He had grown up in the blues of suburbia, with all the trappings, baggage, and luxuries of suburban dysfunctional family unit. He spent several years negotiating the Hollywood music jungle and then ventured off, leaving behind the smog, traffic, crowds, and mega-stress, to try his luck with his own family unit. After many years of performing cover material in numerous bands and the unsatisfying results of not doing his own songs, he started his own band, Peter Burg & Blue Suburban. Peter’s songs became an exorcising of internal demons. Songs that documented the reconstructing and working out his new life. The proverbially snake shedding it’s skin, it became for him a celebration of surviving the vicissitudes that the world can manifest. His blues…a Colorado blues, (Roots Music), a blues that encompasses elements of traditional blues forms, rock-a-billy, country swing, and rock’n roll, with the occasional surf twang, and folk elements. This became the vehicle through which his frustration with relationships, employment, income, living in a societal maze, all while trying to hold on to the thin thread of being an artist, is vented. This thread reaches back and ties Peter to other artists he has had the opportunity to play with such as Mondell Lowell, Hollywood Fats, Katey Sagal, and those artist he had the chance to open for such as, Doug Kirshaw, Chris Smithers, Diamond Rio, Gary Primich, Buddy Whittington, Erica Brown, Dan Treanor and Frankie Lee, and Sonny Landreth. Currently, Peter has embarked on a solo venture with his latest release, Dizzy Light.



Rick Terlep
Little Ricky

Rick Terlep is a guitarist from Pueblo, Colorado, who has composed the music for the Blues Opera SATAN’S PREACHER MAN, and was a session musician on Peter Burg’s debut album DIZZY LIGHT, both available on DigiVintage Records.  He was also a studio musician in Nashville and has been an integral part of several Southern Colorado blues bands. All the songs he composed, he has, at one time or another, considered “rubbish!”, but now are haunting and beautiful Blues classics. Rick has played the Blues, in one form or another, for nearly his entire life; he is a true genius of the slide-guitar.  Rick is currently working on several other projects to relesed through DigiVintage Records









Robert Dwight Brown
Robert
Robert Dwight Brown, aka Satan’s Preacher Man, has spent from 1997 to 2006 writing Satan’s Preacher Man: The Blues Opera and working the last four with Rick Terlep, the unfortunate soul who agreed to compose the music for this unholy Opera. In the future, Robert will produce several other Rock Operas with Rick Terlep. Other future endeavors Robert would like to be associated with are having his screenplays optioned by Hollywood, selling his various novel manuscripts, writing a television pilot, working as a video game designer, “booking” professional wrestling (It’s like a Male Soap Opera-Robert), and continuing to write creative works in all his various fields of interest.

By his own admission, Robert has a very limited singing voice; never having been trained as a vocalist. He hoped beyond hope that he would be able to play his own creation Satan’s Preacher Man on the Original Concept Recording of his Blues Opera. (His only other musical theater experience was playing Bill Sykes in OLIVER!) But by studying early Sunday morning televangelist programs, watching the BLUES BROTHERS motion pictures, and spending hours upon hours of bending his vocal chords into sounding like a testifying
