Oklahoma Musicians

Jazz history

Ace Jr. Moreland

Independent sources identify Moreland as an Oklahoma-born blues/rock singer, guitarist, and harmonica player, document his Cherokee identity, Oklahoma and Florida work, and list his 1990s-2000s releases. A local Oklahoma account also records his early guitar playing, Oklahoma bands, later West Side Story, and 2003 death.

Oklahoma connection

High: independent and Hall-adjacent sources agree he was born in Miami, Oklahoma and built an early career in Oklahoma before relocating to Florida.

Hall of Fame account

The Hall page identifies Ace Moreland as born in Miami, Oklahoma, part Cherokee, a Tulsa-area and Oklahoma blues/rock musician, and a recording artist who later worked from Jacksonville. It gives November 18, 1952 to February 3, 2003.
