Acclaimed drummer, author and clinician Stanton Moore has announced new dates for his South/Southwest US clinic tour.
Stanton Moore was born and raised in New Orleans and developed his trademark sound of "infectious, jazz-meets-Bonham, nouveau second-line."
Stanton launched his solo career in 1998 aided by eight-string guitar virtuoso Charlie Hunter and saxophonist Skerik. The group recorded 'All Kooked Out!' featuring a handful of local New Orleans musicians as well.
In the midst of these recording sessions yet another concept was taking shape. Outtakes turned into the first Garage a Trois release, 'Mysteryfunk', in 1999.
In 2000 the trio, led by Stanton behind the drum kit, was joined by percussionist Mike Dillon (Les Claypool, Ani DiFranco) and has since released three more albums.
In April 2010, Stanton released 'Groove Alchemy', a multimedia project that also includes an instructional book and dvd of the same name.
To date Moore has been featured on the covers of twelve drum publications worldwide. In 2005, he launched a signature line of cymbals with Bosphorus Cymbals and a signature drumstick with the Vic Firth stick company.
