WOODVILLE – The Emporium Stage in downtown Woodville is hosting country singer/songwriter Randy C. Moore, who has become a regular at the venue.
Moore will perform on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 6 p.m. The gig is being dubbed the “Woodville Winter Holiday,” and he will be joined by local singer/guitarist “Wild Bill” Spurlock. Spurlock, the namesake proprietor of Wild Bill’s Grill in Woodville, hosts Moore frequently at his restaurant.
Moore, who is based in Lufkin, identifies as a country artist, but his sound and tastes come from a variety of places.
A veteran of the music industry and Nashville, Moore can rattle off seemingly esoteric facts about everyone from Neil Young and U2 to the late, great Carl Perkins, in a way that makes for fascinating storytelling.
Onstage, Moore can impersonate several artists, including Johnny Cash, vocally, and he covers songs from a variety of sources, but at the end of the day, Moore’s own sound is tempered with a warm, friendly vocal cadence and an intimate identification with the songs – whether they came from his pen or others’.
