Rooted in music. Grown like family.

I’m Caleb Moses, a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from Paris, Texas, and the lead vocalist of Roses & Weeds. For the past several years, I’ve poured my heart into writing original music that captures raw emotion and connects with people from all walks of life.

Roses & Weeds isn’t just a band — it’s a family. Together with the drummer, The Guy Next Door, and lead singer Tarren Keelie, we’ve built a sound that’s rooted in deep lyrical storytelling, rich harmonies, and energetic live performances. We’re based right here in East Texas, and we’re proud of the music and memories we’re creating together.

Right now, we’re taking a short break from live shows as my wife and I get ready to welcome our second child — a baby girl. While we're home, we’re focusing on growing our online presence, connecting with fans in new ways, and laying the groundwork for what’s ahead.

One of those exciting things on the horizon is a trip to Nashville to work with producer Dean Miller. Getting the chance to collaborate with someone I’ve looked up to is a dream come true. My goal has always been to share my music full-time — playing big stages across the country while staying true to my roots and the people who helped me get here.

This is just the beginning, and I’m thankful for every step of the journey.

I got my first drum set at age three — a little Fraggle Rock kit — and I’ve been behind the drums ever since. My mom, a talented drummer herself, started teaching me before I could even reach the pedals. She’d sit me in her lap and guide my hands. By the time I was eight, I was already filling in for her on stage with real bands. Music was always a part of our home.

I never learned to read music — I play everything by ear. My mom used to say, “You either got it or you don’t — and you got it.” That stuck with me, and it’s how I’ve approached not just drums, but any instrument I pick up. She made sure I practiced all genres growing up, but blues was always my favorite. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore were the soundtrack of my childhood.

Years later, I met Caleb and we started jamming just for fun, but I saw a spark in him that I wanted to help bring to life. What started as something casual grew into something real — especially after we convinced Keelie to sing. That’s how Roses & Weeds came to life.

Now things have come full circle: my mom is our band manager. With her years of experience, she handles bookings, marketing, and all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps us going. We couldn’t do this without her.

On a personal note, my son recently joined his school band and is learning saxophone (currently playing the bassoon), and I couldn’t be prouder. Maybe we’ve got a future fourth band member in the making.

Outside of music, I love grilling, hanging out by a fire, playing with my dogs, and taking off on spontaneous trips. I’m all about high-adrenaline moments, and nothing clears my head like the ocean. But at the end of the day, being back on the drums — with this band and this family — feels exactly right.

I’ve always been the quiet type — shy in a crowd, but full of life once I’m comfortable. Growing up in small-town Texas, I was surrounded by a big, blended, and loving family that taught me the value of faith, hard work, and staying grounded. My mom, dad, stepmom, stepdad, siblings, and nana have all shaped who I am, and I’m so grateful for their constant encouragement and support.

But it was my granny who lit the spark in me. Some of my favorite memories were made with her — helping in the kitchen, gardening, or hanging clothes on the line while old country records played in the background. We’d listen to Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, and those simple, old-fashioned moments gave me my love for music and a deep connection to something timeless.

For most of my life, I kept my voice hidden — afraid of what others might think, and unsure if I was even good enough. But after my granny passed, I realized just how short life is and how important it is to live with purpose. With the support of my family, friends, husband, and bandmates, I finally found the courage to sing out loud — and I haven’t looked back.

Growing up on those old records gave me a natural twang and a deep love for that classic country sound. Artists like Patsy and Loretta take me right back to days with my granny, and I hope my voice can do the same for others — spark a memory, stir a feeling, or simply touch the soul.

When I’m not singing, I’m happiest outside — planting flowers, digging in the dirt, wandering the woods, or spending time with animals. Nature brings me peace, and so does making music that’s honest and full of heart.

What we’re creating with Roses & Weeds is rooted in comfort, nostalgia, and that raw, real feeling only true country music can give.
