Chris Moore
Chris Moore was born in Savannah and raised in the two red light, farm community of Glennville, Ga. He was into music from as early as he can remember: Elvis at the very youngest age, and then there was all the cool, ingeniously melodic stuff McCartney was doing with Wings, the jazzy sounds of Steely Dan, nasty, rowdy jams of the Stones and Rod Stewart and the Faces.
Until he moved to Athens in 1997, he barely knew three chords on a guitar. He didn’t know any other musicians in town, so he picked up his cheap pawn shop guitar and started writing simple songs and playing open mics until eventually he met other musicians.
Chris Moore will perform 5:10 p.m. Saturday on the outdoor stage.
