Mitty & The Followers, Record Archive

Mitty & The Followers are Rochester soul veterans bringing the sounds of Motown, classic R&B, funk, blues, and old-school soul to the stage with the kind of energy that gets people out of their seats. Led by Rochester’s own Eric “Mitty” Moore, known as the “Ambassador of Soul,” the band has been a fixture of the local music scene for more than 15 years. Moore’s powerful vocals and soulful bass work anchor a tight band built around groove, musicianship, and a genuine love for the music. The Followers have shared stages with major artists including Bootsy Collins, while their repertoire runs from The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding and Al Green to Santana, Van Morrison and beyond. Their shows are equal parts concert and party high-energy, danceable, and packed with the songs that made soul and R&B timeless.
