Nathan Moore and Suprise Me Mr. Davis


I just can't seem to listen to enough of the arty, incredibly prolilfic singer-songwriter Nathan Moore. He is a tremendous lyricist with a wonderful bass voice. You can check out his work on the nifty player on his web site.
Last year, Moore headed across the country on a blow-with-the-wind tour called the "Hippy Fiasco" and did it with a live Internet feed,, playing parties and house concerts along the way.

Moore tours on his own and also fronts Surprise Me Mr. Davis, a band with a performance art feel and a wide range which was a standout at last year's  Bear Creek Music and Art Festival. The band is basically Moore with members of the avant garde Boston band, The Slip and Marco Benevento.

Moore is great as a quirky front man (he even does magic tricks sometimes). But I am  lately loving his stripped down singer-songwriter stuff.

This is not a new clip, but it is a wonderful one -- Moore's "Tombstone." Below that, he sings "Understand Under" and lastly, Surprise Me Mr. Davis does a song that's a total blast, "Sissyfuss."
