Biography:

2008 Telluride Troubadour Nathan Moore’s award-winning one-man show is a peek into the vastness of musical and emotional possibility. Wrapped in an infectious inde-folk sound seasoned by nearly two decades on the road and punctuated with stories and a magic trick or two, Moore’s musical versatility takes him deftly from crooning a deeply personal sad song in one breath, marching defiantly through a protest song in the next, then reveling in Mardi Gras abandon at the end. His poetic lyrics are so strikingly familiar all along the spectrum of human experience that listeners come away saying it’s “…as if he were sitting in my brain.”

Press:

"Nathan possesses that great songwriter magic: When you have a feeling, he has a song for it. When you have something you can't describe, he can put it into words."
- State Of Mind Magazine

"As troubadours go, they don't come much truer than Nathan Moore. Nathan has a genuine communion with the lyric and craft of song, and an emotive and experienced voice influenced largely by Dylan, Tom Waits, Bukowski, Leonard Cohen, and years of travel."
– Jambase

"Nathan Moore may very well be one of the finest singer-songwriters of our generation. With songs that are so pure and honest, you can follow his pains and his joys note for note and word for word."
Joe Adler - - Glide Magazine

“he is not just a troubadour, he is a showman, interspersing in his set was the occasional tale from the road, sit in from Brad Barr, duet with a looped African chant and magic trick. He was a one man traveling show, even making his own novelty pins.”
