ThaMuseMeant is a four-piece band comprised as of 2006 of Aimee Curl (upright bass, vocals), Nathan Moore (guitar, harmonica, vocals, chief songwriter), Enion Pelta-Tiller (violin), and David Tiller (mandolin, banjo, octave mandolin, bouzouki, Eight string guitar). Prior to 2001 the band contained Jeff Sussman on percussion instead of Enion Pelta-Tiller on violin. 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. Their folk-influenced music has gained them regional popularity in the West Coast of the United States. 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.
