You see my dear ones, in the end, it’s all in his singing. Moss has one of those rare tonal qualities that can only be described as, “A tear in the voice” and it is this heartfelt vulnerability that draws you into his music as he travels from Hilariousville to Haunting Town and back again.

The live-broadcast event, the FIRST COLORS Ceremony, featured a special performance by the Off Broadway cast of THE HELLO GIRLS and took place in Washington, DC on Friday, April 16 at 10:00 a.m. EDT / 7:00 a.m. PDT.
