TOM MORAN Sweet tremolo on a ballad, soulful Monroe-style blues licks, or a lightening-fast instrumental-- Tom’s playing keeps you on the edge of your seat. Tom has that rare gift of being innovative without ever losing touch with his pure bluegrass roots. With his lovely tone, Tom makes his mandolin ring like a bell. He was a longtime author of Mandolin Magazine’s Bluegrass column, and a key force in the revival of the Seattle Mandolin Orchestra. Tom also taught a bluegrass class at Shoreline Community College in Seattle. A librarian by profession, Tom insists on filing our set lists according to the Dewey decimal system.
