From performing live in Auckland’s top nightspots, the Mo’Reece Group is based on a core team of Maurice and Jonas, but often includes their long serving friends and accomplished musicians Colin Stanley on Bass (Exiles) and Richie Campbell on Drums (Ardijah).
Pasifika 2004 and 2005 were a highlight for the Mo’Reece Group, performing tracks of their first EP “No Reason Why” to a full capacity crowd at Western Springs Stadium, along side some of New Zealand’s biggest recording artists, Scribe, Mareko, Feelstyle, Nathan Haines and many more.
Their single and video “No Reason Why” was supported by NZ ON AIR, with the video airing on Sky Tv’s Juice TV (achieving most requested video), Coke New Releases, Maori TV and C4. The Mo’Reece Group were granted funding from Creative NZ to tour the EP throughout the country and travelled from Keri Keri through to Wellington, appearing on More FM Northland, Mai FM, Nui FM and various rural radio stations throughout the North Island.
Mo’Reece Group kicked off their tour by supporting George Benson at the Auckland Town Hall and was invited to enjoy a private dinner with George Benson and his band.
Mo’Reece Group has recently returned from an acoustic tour of the UK and Italy, playing at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival and local venues throughout the northern district of Venenzia in Italy. The chief Councillor of the Edinburgh Festival “Brian Fallon”, was so impressed that he has invited the group to participate in next years festival.
Mo’Reece Group is currently in the process of recording their long awaited debut album and hopes to entertain the NZ public with their fuse of Soul/Funk/Jazz music at as many festivals and performances this coming summer.
The audience
I have found a wide range of people like our music when performing and touring around NZ and can play to audiences ranging from pub's and taverns to theatre’s and churches. However, our primary audience is aged between 15-50 years. We would describe our music as Soul with touches of Rock, RNB and Jazz, fusing together to create the sound of the “MO’Reece Group”.
