ARTIST INFO
Jeremy Moyer, Musician in Residence, Shanghai-Zhujiajiao World Music Centre (China) Canadian erhu player, multi-instrumentalist and composer

Crossing the thresholds of two very different musical cultures, Jeremy Moyer is a Shanghai based composer and multi-instrumentalist who has studied traditional folk music from the Cantonese and Taiwanese traditions with Zhang Shi-dong in Taiwan and with Yeung-Yee
Lee in New York City and studied Erhu with Zhou Derong and Zhou Hao in Shanghai. His first CD ‘A Discovery of Chinese Folk Tunes’ features rarely heard traditional folk songs from Taiwan and the south of China played on Coconut Shell Fiddle, Pipa Lute, and a variety of percussion instruments. Music from the CD was included in the 2004 documentary film, ‘Naruwan, Welcome to Taiwan’ broadcast on PBS.

Moyer also composes contemporary music and regularly collaborates with other artists. In 2003, he was awarded a research and creation grant from the Quebec Arts Council (Canada). In 2005, the CD, ‘George, from Athens to Beijing’, co-produced by Moyer, was nominated for Best World Music at the Canadian Folk Music Awards and Moyer’s original songs and erhu improvisations were featured in the award-winning W5/CTV/ BBC international television documentary ‘Chairman George’. In 2007, Jeremy Moyer’s ‘Special Song’, co-written by Na Lei, was selected as one of three official theme songs for the Summer Special Olympics in Shanghai.

‘MANGOES, Musical Shorts Volume 1’, Moyer’s latest cd, is an eclectic collection of short, original, instrumental pieces showcasing his aptitude and spirit as a composer and performer in a wide range of folk-based and contemporary styles ranging from meditative gong music and erhu smooth jazz to groovy hand drumming and raw folk fiddling. The album was recorded in Moyer’s attic studio in a 100-year-old courtyard house in the village of
Zhujiajiao, near Shanghai and it was mixed and mastered in Canada by J. Richard Hutt.

With a few exceptions, Moyer plays all the instruments on his recordings. He plays several varieties of ‘huqin’ – the Chinese two-stringed fiddle – including erhu, gaohu, yehu and kezi xuan. He also plays acoustic guitar, bass, a variety of Chinese and western percussion instruments; and occasionally he sings.

Artist Info 
Lex Price – Since arriving in Nashville in 1998, multi-instrumentalist and producer Lex Price has quietly become one of the most respected all-around musicians in the city’s rapidly evolving scene. His contributions on stage, on the road and in the studio have bolstered some of today’s most intriguing and uncompromising artists, including Mindy Smith, Peter Bradley Adams, Sarah Siskind and Matthew Ryan. As a sideman, he’s been called on to play with Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, Melissa Etheridge and John Kay of Steppenwolf. In Price, they have found a musician long on craft and experience but also one with impeccable taste and restraint. He makes the most of every gesture, and he pares away the inessential until all that remains is integrity and beauty.

Lex grew up around acoustic and roots music in the Maryland/D.C area, even making an instrumental bluegrass album at age 12 with local talents who would all go on to national notoriety. In Nashville, Lex sought his path by gravitating to some of the city’s most original and insightful songwriters, completing their soundscapes with electric guitar, bass and mandolin. He joined Americana star Mindy Smith for a tour and became her music director. Since then, Lex has produced acclaimed albums for Smith, Robby Hecht, Peter Bradley Adams, The Bittersweets, Michael McDermott and Tom Mitchell.

Tracks he’s produced or co-written have appeared on numerous television shows, including One Tree Hill, Grey’s Anatomy and Six Degrees. Peter Bradley Adams says Price is “an extraordinary producer and player, and he really brought out the depth, darkness and heart in my songs.” And Matthew Ryan observes: “Lex has that elusive ability to completely inhabit any song he performs on, and he does it on nearly any instrument he chooses. Quiet and emotionally intelligent, he’s one of my favorite musicians, people and producers ever.”Price is currently a regular sideman for Sarah Siskind, Mindy Smith and the Silver Seas. He also composes his own instrumental music. He lives with his wife in Nashville.
