ARTIST PROFILE Described as "model new-music citizens" by the NY Times, James Moore and Andie Springer enjoy active careers as performers in New York's thriving creative music scene.

James and Andie began playing together while on tour with the production of playwright Richard Maxwell’s Neutral Hero. Traveling to venues around the world, they would follow up their evening theatrical performances with late-night sets at underground music and art venues. They have since built a a unique repertoire of contemporary music for violin and steel-string resonator guitar, and collaborated with a diverse community of composers, writers, actors, and visual artists. Their critically acclaimed debut album Gertrudes was released on New World Records in 2015, featuring original compositions and pieces written for them by Robert Ashley, Lainie Fefferman, Paula Matthusen, Larry Polansky, and Ken Thomson.
