Steven Moore and Friends
About the band:
Steven Moore & Friends is a top-notch super-band of hand-picked, young, talented musicians from all around the US that perform various styles and genres in a unique, acoustic blend of (new)grass music. They are the new super pickers! Members include Steven Moore (banjo), Etienne Cremiuex (fiddle), James Seliga (mandolin), Andrew Conley (cello), Swanagan Ray (guitar), and Andrew Bonnis (bass and ukulele). All 20-24 years old, this band delivers a fantastic assortment of grass-roots based music (with a focus on newgrass) along with a combination of everything else! From note-for-note duets and harmonies to improvised leads, these musicians will perform both synchronized, tightly-arranged melodies as well as jam-session style arrangements.
Steven Moore - "We're all really excited for the opportunity to finally put together this dream-band of young, talented musicians. I've met a lot of musicians over the years and have always wanted to assemble a band of the best of them, and this is it a select bunch of guys that I chose individually. They are my dream band."
