Sounds Like
"a cross between Nanci Griffith and Melissa Etheridge" was my favorite and perhaps the most accurate (too folky for the rock world; too rock for the folkies). But I've also been compared to Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, Karla Bonoff, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Vonda Sheppard, Linda Ronstadt, Sheryl Crow, Kathy Mattea, Carole King, and Patty Griffin or some combination of all of the above.

Declared “Songwriter of the Year” by the Virginia Sound Achievement Awards and WXGI Radio, Nancy Moran has recorded 4 solo CDs, including her latest titled “Something Old, Something New,” which is her most acoustic record to date, featuring live performances of both old (i.e. previously recorded) and new compositions. Her CDs have garnered her public and commercial radio airplay on 80+ stations coast-to-coast and have landed her on the Gavin Americana charts alongside Delbert McClinton and Joan Baez. Additionally, she has been featured internationally on radio stations in Australia, Canada, and Europe.
The Richmond-Times Dispatch called Nancy “nothing short of a [modern-day] Joni Mitchell” and “a force to be reckoned with” while Dirty Linen Magazine says Nancy has “a powerful, expressive voice…stunning.” She has performed at universities, festivals and clubs such as Nashville’s Bluebird, Washington DC’s Birchmere, Cambridge’s Club Passim and the Kerrville (TX) Folk Festival.
Her fans describe her music as "contemporary folk with a rock 'n roll edge," "a cross between Nanci Griffith and Melissa Etheridge," and "Bonnie Raitt meets Carly Simon meets Billy Joel." What makes Nancy really stand out, however, is her delivery. Her performance is often described as "unpretentious" or "natural, not engineered." And her fans report that she "sings from her soul," and that you can "hear the passion in her voice." One friend recently put it this way: "music like Shawn Colvin, delivery more gutsy like Vonda Shepard."
Nancy is quick to point out that you don't need an English degree to listen to her music and understand. "I'm not particularly 'heady' or poetic," Nancy explains. "Music shouldn't be something you have to work at. I use plain english. I write about every day subjects. I spell it out for you...maybe to a fault," she admits. "Some days, I wish I could be more ethereal or nebulous. But that's not me."
In 2005, after substituting frequently for two years, Nancy became a permanent member of the acclaimed all-female folk troupe, The Four Bitchin' Babes. Previous members have included Patty Larkin, Christine Lavin, Suzzy Roche, and Julie Gold with special substitute appearances by artists such as Janis Ian and Mary Travers.
In addition to her solo and Babes performing appearances, Nancy is also a columnist for American Songwriter Magazine, a frequent key-note speaker at music conferences and events, an NSAI-endorsed music business instructor, and the author of several books, audio series, and courses including, “The Songwriter’s Survival Kit,” “The Professional Songwriter’s Code of Conduct,” and “Making and Releasing Your Own CD.”
In her spare time (yeah, right), she is currently learning to sew! Nancy resides in Nashville, TN with her husband, Fett, and their two cats, Fluffy and Suzie Q.

I am about half way done with my latest update to my page. Take a peek and listen to the first five songs from my up and comming cd. Right now the release date is in December.
A new feature is you can post your favorite song on your web page!
My new theme is about fall, with the songs having a sence of wanderlust and rambling on.
