Stanton Moore Trio with Anders Osborne and Robert Walter
Share
Born and raised in New Orleans, Stanton Moore is a dedicated drummer and performer especially connected to the city, its culture andcollaborative spirit. In the early ’90s, Moore helped found the New Orleans-based funk band Galactic, with whom he has recorded seven
albums and toured the world. Stanton has also released several critically claimed albums as a leader: All Kooked Out! (1998), Flyin’
the Koop (Verve/Blue Thumb 2001), III (Telarc 2006) and Emphasis! (on parenthesis) (2008). In April 2010, Moore released Groove Alchemy
(Telarc) to explore the roots of funk drumming along with a book and DVD of the same name.
In addition this year Stanton helped produce American Patchwork (Alligator Records), the latest release from Anders Osborne, Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist. The Swedish-born, longtime New Orleans resident is among the most original and visionary musicians performing today. In a city overflowing with stellar artists, bands and performers, Osborne is one of the Big Easy’s favorite musical heroes. American Patchwork is a moving collection of soul-baring rock, blues and ballads. Many of the songs on American Patchwork deal with healing and redemption, spirituality and acceptance. It is about rebuilding what has been destroyed, not only a ravaged city, but also a hollow man. Often compared to Townes Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison, Osborne is an exceptional and singular talent. Paste Magazine says, “Osborne has an impossibly great, soulful voice and the songs to match.” Living Blues adds, “Osborne is a songwriter of enormous depth and an incredibly passionate musician.” Anders and Stanton have enjoyed taking their new projects out together
