A goatsinger has a sense of the tragedy and so looks for the jokes.
A goatsinger will sing.
A goatsinger will tell stories and recite poems.
A goatsinger will play his instrument as best he can...
Born in a disappeared hospital in Waterloo, Iowa and raised in the country outside Denver, Iowa, Mike Moran cobbed his first guitar from the guy across the dormitory hall his freshman year of college. He learned his first chords from the Beatles song, "I Need You." So George Harrison was the first to teach him how to write a song. The second song he learned to play Moran wrote himself.
Studying acting and playwriting officially, Moran tried to figure out how to strangle halfway decent sounds out of his box during the off-hours.
Three kids and a wife later, Moran's a schoolteacher who started using the playwriting with the songwriting with the performing and now constructs performance pieces known as goatsinger shows.
Working close with international director/producer David Gothard for a number of years, Moran's also developed and written a novel, two full-length plays, and his first screenplay--in addition to a number of short stories and poems.
