Biography
Nancy Moran, a singer, songwriter, and guitarist steeped in folk traditions, entered the world in Pittsburgh, PA, before spending her formative years amid the historic streets of Richmond, VA. Music claimed her attention only after she reached adulthood. Equipped with commanding vocals, an unmistakable personal approach, and an effective blend of folk and country elements, she steadily advances through the industry while savoring the process at every turn.
She took the frontwoman role in the ensemble Driftwood during 1987. When the group dissolved the following year, Moran immediately committed to independent work. In 1991 she relinquished the stability of regular employment to focus exclusively on her craft, issuing her first collection, A Little Off Balance, through Azalea Records; critics responded with largely favorable notices. Throughout 1992 she appeared at festivals, clubs, and coffeehouses, earned placements in multiple competitions, and received nominations for a pair of Wammie awards. The next year she relocated to Nashville, TN, where she completed her second album, Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear. My Gallery followed as her subsequent full-length project.
Her songwriting shifts without warning between wrenching melancholy and uproarious humor, each piece anchored by genuine feeling. Listeners encounter such selections as “In My Kitchen,” “Classified,” “A Dozen Brides,” “Putting Other People Down,” and “Song for Lebanon” across her recordings.
