Homeward Bound

April 16th, 2008

Tour has been fantastic thus far. We’ve played some amazing places and met so many fantastic people. We’ve stayed up ’til 5 in the morning listening to music and sipping fine elixirs. We were shown Kurt Cobain’s house in Olympia. We saw the motel where Gram Parsons passed in Joshua Tree. We saw Pioneertown, fabricated home of all the old westerns of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.

Please join us for the homecoming show tonight @ Outta Sight in San Francisco:

Outta Sight
9pm - Wed April 16 @ The Edinburgh Castle (950 Geary St, SF)
Chinatown Bakeries
Miwa Gemini
Moomaw

And be sure to catch my live performance tomorrow on BSF 88.1 FM bsrlive.com / wmbr.org (7:30pm EST, 4:30pm PT). I’ll be playing some tunes over the telephone as part of an event called Phoning it In!

an account of the series of events making up a person's life

this is where I run around and scrape up bits of used-up bio stuff. i'm pretty sure writing bios is causing artists to frown everywhere. boo.

not that i don't like to talk. or that i don't want to talk about myself. i do that stuff plenty. i don't know... i guess it's just weird when you spend all this time updating and writing about what represents YOU at that particular time, that year, that season, that day.

here's something that i wrote once that i didn't hate:

no, never mind... i guess i hate it. i'm going to write something new.

my name is nathan moomaw and now i live in san francisco and i play music there alone and sometime with other people which is great and the reason i play music is because my father plays beautiful folk music and did so when i was young and that was when i was growing up in the woods of western massachussetts near an apple orchard and some other farms and stuff and after that i moved to boston for a number of years and then to new york for a number more and now i'm here trying to have fun and play music and art that makes me and hopefully other people happy.
