  A recent transplant to Idaho, guitarist Clay Moore picked up the instrument while in high school in El Paso, TX and played his first gigs two years later. Studying on his own and with jazz greats Pat Martino, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, and John Scofield, Clay learned quickly and was soon performing in cities all over the USA, playing in top 40, R&B, blues, country, rock, and jazz groups. Over time he focused on becoming a full-time jazz artist, both as a sideman and leading his own groups.
