Feb 24 Moors and McCumber
James Moors and Kurt McCumber are an acoustic duo specializing in Americana, folk, melody, and stories. While both men are successful solo songwriters, Moors being an official recipient of the McKnight Foundation Emerging Artist Grant and McCumber having won the Flat Rock Festival Songwriting Competition, when they come together their sound becomes larger than life. The two met at the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival in 2005 and immediately knew that together their music would be something beautiful, something different. They started writing songs that straddled the line between folk and pop and never looked back. Switching up their instruments on more songs than not, these two keep their tunes exciting and their audience electrified.
