Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Chris Moyse!

 

Chris Moyse is a Nashville-based folk songwriter hellbent on the truth; “the places most would rather stay away from” he says. He has recently shared the stage with folk troubadours like Joe Ely and Mary Gauthier, as well as members of Old Crow Medicine show. Originally from Monroe, CT, he started playing his songs at bars when he was 16. He released his debut EP titled Bad Parts in early 2017 and the momentum has allowed him to tour around the country consistently since then. Armed with a batch of poetic songs, Chris has a knack for drawing people in with his witty banter, revealing lyrics, and beautiful melodies. Speaking of his songs, Moyse says “I like real stories more than I like parables. Things that are a little uglier and maybe don’t give you all the answers. I don’t believe what Dylan said about all good songs having been written already - I think it’s just a matter of finding a different angle.” Chris was a winner of the 2017 Kerrville New Folk songwriting competition.
