Nathan Moore, Morgan Corviday

What:

Nathan Moore has spent his life chasing down paradox, and his award-winning live show, impressive recording career and ever-expanding song catalog reflect his love for the unexpected twist in the road.
Nathan has been called “one of the finest singer/songwriters of our generation” (Joe Adler, Glide Magazine), and is frequently compared to literary greats Dylan, Waits, Prine, and Cohen, but never without an impressed nod to his uniqueness.
“One minute he is an insightful John Prine another minute he is a gruff Tom Waits, but most of all he is nothing more, nothing less than Nathan Moore” (Jay’s News and Reviews).
A review of a 2008 show says Nathan’s lyrics “define him more as a poet and prophet than a singer and a songwriter” He wasn’t trying to give me an answer. That is not what folk music is about. He was simply making sense of all the questions I have” (Stites McDaniel, Grateful Web).
The versatility of Moore’s prolific songwriting and performing skills can be seen over a career that has spanned nearly 2 decades - he has recorded 19 albums and played 100s of gigs alongside an impressive list of talented artists at hot venues and festivals across the country. He’s been in a jam band, a string band, a rock band and now is on the rise as a solo singer/songwriter. Moore’s 2007 solo album, In His Own Worlds, spent 21 weeks on the Roots Music Radio Charts, and his evocative one-man show that is an innovative combination of music, banter and magic has wowed audiences from coast-to-coast ever since. In 2008, he won and placed in the top 10 of a number of prestigious songwriting contests, including a win at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and a selection for the cover of State of Mind music magazine. In addition to his new solo endeavors, Moore often revisits his long-time roles as the front man of the indie rock band Surprise Me Mr. Davis (The Slip + Nathan Moore) and the charismatic leader of the virtuoso string band ThaMuseMeant.
