Nathan Moore Named Telluride Troubadour

Telluride Bluegrass Festival boasts on its website that it has the “smartest audience in the country”, so when Virgina-based Singer/
Songwriter Nathan Moore was named 2008 Telluride Troubadour  on June 21, he had a tall order to fill.  The festival crowd swelled throughout the weekend to an estimated 10,000 and had already listened to legends like Arlo Guthrie, Leftover Salmon, Ricky Skaggs, and Bruce Hornsby when Moore took the stage.  He had impressed the judges; he had fifteen minutes to impress festivarians.  And while Moore has performed with bands at his fair share of festivals in the last fifteen years, when he stepped onto the main stage at the thirty-five year old Colorado tradition, it was just him, the brand new custom-made guitar he was awarded as the winner, and “the largest crowd I’ve ever played for in my life”.
