Thom Moore began playing the banjo in 2008, writing original music immediately and, after being encouraged by banjo player Tony Ellis (Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys and solo artist), recorded an album compilation of 16 tunes in 2011 entitled THAT EVENING SUN. On the recording he is joined by world renown Celtic multi-instrumentalist, Zan Mcleod,(guitar, mandolin, bouzouki and bass), old-time phenom Erynn Marshall on fiddle, brother Tim Moore on percussion, Matt Combs of The Hartford Stringband on fiddle, and Gary Tussing on cello.
Thom was featured on the cover of The Banjo Newsletter with an interview by legendary banjoist, Alan Munde in August of 2012. Thom makes his home in Wytheville, Virginia and works for radio station, WYVE-WXBX-WLOY.
