Moe Berg (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moe Berg (born Edmonton, Alberta) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, best known as the lead singer for the rock group The Pursuit of Happiness.

Before forming The Pursuit of Happiness, Berg was in the Edmonton bands The Malibu Kens (other members of The Malibu Kens later formed Jr. Gone Wild), Facecrime, Modern Minds and Troc '59.

After working with The Pursuit of Happiness for ten years, Berg released his first solo album, Summer's Over, in 1997. He has also produced a number of records for other artists.

Berg has been published as a writer, releasing his first book, a short story collection called The Green Room, in 2000. He has also written book reviews for Amazon.ca and the Edmonton Journal, as well as other articles for various publications.

While he currently works mainly as a record producer for young bands, he also works as a DJ on Saturday nights at The Tap, a bar in Toronto known to be a haunt for local musicians, on Bloor Street. Reports by Vice magazine's Guide to Toronto which imply that Berg owns The Tap are false; TPOH drummer Dave Gilby, however, does manage the establishment.
