ARTS Pick: Riley Moore

Walking the talk: Global culture and music are the passions that drive songwriter Riley Moore’s blossoming career. After traveling the world and growing the requisite folksinger beard, Moore settled in Nashville where he lives on a sailboat. A love of the planet moved him to establish himself as a walking, touring musician, and in 2015 he set out on foot with his bandmates to play 50 East Coast gigs, across 1,600 miles. Genna Matthew and McDaniel Dougherty also appear.

Wednesday 1/15. $7, 8pm. Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, 414 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 293-9947.
