GUITARIST - VOCALIST

MICHEL OUELLETTE (aka MO) Hi, my name is Michel Ouellette (pronounced Wellet) aka MO. I live in Canada and I'm a professional musician since the '70s. I'm willing to travel and  I don't mind wearing a toxedo or a blue jeans.  If you need me for a gig or a long term contract, you can reach me anytime  by email at : mo1952@hotmail.com  I'm a guitarist-singer and my repertoire is as large as your imagination, From Louis Armstrong to B.B. King , Billie Joel to Ray Charles, Bob Marley to Frank Sinatra...just name it ! I'm available as a solo performer (acoustic or with backtracks). I'm also willing to join a duo, trio or a full band .   I've been working on cruise ships as a musician from 2005 to 2012. I did cruises  in Alaska, Hawaï,  East and West Caribbean, Asia, Europe, California, the Mexican Riviera, Central and South America. I speak French and English and I'm a hard working man, I don't drink and I don't smoke....okay, the truth is,  sometimes I like to have a glass of red wine with a good meal :)  You can watch a "Solo Live Performance" (recorded in the lounge of the Hilton Bonaventure, Montreal, Canada) on YouTube.
