John Moreland: Folk Musician in New York

About John Moreland

John Moreland is a Tulsa-based American singer-songwriter whose work sits in the rock/pop lane, shaped by plainspoken storytelling and a weathered vocal tone. In the New York area, he appears at White Eagle Hall, including a bill shared with Patterson Hood for “John Moreland and Patterson Hood (18 and Over).” His songs tend to move slowly, with arrangements that leave room for the lyric to lead. The performances favor restraint over spectacle, keeping attention on phrasing and narrative detail.
