COYLE — MoZo, aka Moe Provencher and Aimee Zoe, started out as a street busking project on wheels.
Two wheels per woman, in fact.
MoZo pedals around the world and around the Puget Sound.
Now they’re gearing up for a jaunt from their Seattle home to Coyle’s Laurel B. Johnson Community Center for a 7:30 p.m. concert on Saturday.
Provencher and Zoe plan to roll in, trademark folk-pop and bluesy rock in tow, for the show that’s part of the Concerts in the Woods series at the center, 923 Hazel Point Road.
As is typical with these monthly performances, all ages are welcome, and admission is by donation.
Bicycling in
One reason the pair can bicycle to the remote venue is they need no heavy gear; no bass amplifier nor kick drum.
They make their music with washboard, harmonica and guitar — and this time a little help from Concerts in the Woods presenter Norm Johnson, who’ll add some instrumentation.
The MoZo women are advocates for the “four E’s” of cycling: exercise, economics, environment and experience.
It’s cheaper than the bus, good for the body and the planet and, they write on their website, there’s “so much to see and smell!”
Many a MoZo song packs commentary about the state of the world and how people can affect its health and survival, the website notes.
The site, www.GoMoZo.com also offers video and audio of the pair plus a tour blog, where Zoe and Provencher plan to write about their bicycle trip to Australia and New Zealand in early 2014.
