ThaMuseMeant is an American folk-rock quartet. The band has had three permanent members since the beginning: Aimee Curl (acoustic bass and vocals), Nathan Moore (guitar and vocals), and David Tiller (mandolin). Prior to 2001 the band contained Jeff Sussman on
percussion instead of Enion Pelta-Tiller on violin, who joined in 2003. Originally from
Virginia, the bandmembers met in
Austin,
Texas. They spent some time in
Santa Fe,
New Mexico, and
Portland,
Oregon, oscillating between these two Western cities. Nathan Moore's poetic lyrics, Aimee Curl's singing style combines with David Tiller and Enion Pelta-Tiller's technique in their respective instruments to create a unique sound.
Movin By Lovin is the title of one of their songs, which is also the title for a
documentary about ThaMuseMeant. ThaMuseMeant toured in the Summer of 2007 for the first time in two years and played at the
High Sierra Music Festival in July 2007.
