Who IS Moe Nelson, anyway? Originally from Champaign, Illinois, he’s made and taught music since the age of 18, and came to the Washington, DC area in the early 1980s. This international man of mystery is a marine biologist at NOAA by day, but at night you can find him playing string bass, harmonica, and ukulele with bands including the HULA MONSTERS, the LONGTIMERS, and, of course, THE GRANDSONS and KING TEDDY. Tonight, we have TWO bands with Moe onstage for your dance and musical enjoyment. Fuuun!!
KING TEDDY long-time favorites of the Gottaswing dance community, the band’s name is an homage to the kings of swing, the king of rock and roll (Elvis!), Nat King Cole, and the British Teddy Boys of the ‘50s. The band’s name was suggested by the keyboardist’s younger brother. His name is Ted.
