Viking Moses 

Living a nomadic life for nearly a decade now, Brendon Massei (born in Midland, Michigan to truck drivers) has released music albums under several names (Spork, Supperbell Roundup, Viking Moses).

Perpetually on tour (since 1996), he has played with Will Oldham, Cat Power, Songs: Ohia and Devendra Banhart, to name a few, yet Massei’s body of work has received little commercial or critical attention.

His newest full-length under the Viking Moses moniker, the story-song cycle Crosses, is by far his most accomplished work, and ranks among the best of the newest crop of American folk recordings.

A Viking Moses show often finds Massei on his knees wailing like a man possessed.
