(1) Nathan Moore - Friday, June 5th, 9 pm at Humboldt Brews
The versatility of Nathan 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, 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.
Admission is $10 general, $8 HFS members. Show is at 9 pm, with Morgan Corviday opening. More info at http://www.nathanmoore.org
