About Stanton Moore 

New Orleans native Stanton Moore is a dedicated drummer, performer and educator especially connected to the city, its culture and collaborative spirit. For the past 25 years Moore has dedicated himself to touring the world and bringing the culture and message of his hometown to a global audience.

In the early ‘90s, Moore helped found the New Orleans-based essential funk band Galactic. Galactic continues to amass a worldwide audience via recording and touring globally. They have averaged 100 shows a year over the last quarter-century. In late November of 2018 Moore and the other 4 members of Galactic bought the famed New Orleans music club Tipitina’s. They have played there on most major holidays for the last 20 years including Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras, Halloween and New Years' Eve earning the nickname “The Tipitina’s House Band”. When presented with the opportunity to take over ownership of the club, they jumped at the chance. They plan to protect and preserve the legacy of the venue ongoing.

After graduating from Brother Martin high school under the tutelage of Marty Hurley, Moore earned his bachelor’s degree in music and business from Loyola University. He stays involved in education by constantly presenting clinics, master classes and private lessons all over the world. Moore has written two books, both of which won the Modern Drummer reader’s poll for book of the year. His second book, Groove Alchemy was included in Modern Drummer’s list of top 25 drum books of all time. In 2016, he started his online drum lesson site, StantonMooreDrumAcademy.com to present the curriculum he has developed. Starting in 2019 he has accepted the position of artist in residence teaching drum set at LSU.

Moore has released 9 records under his own name and 10 recordings with Galactic. He has demonstrated his outstanding versatility on stage and/or on record with a vast array of artists in multiple genres. Some of these artists include Irma Thomas, Corrosion of Conformity, Robert Walter, Garage-a-Trois, The New Orleans Klezmer Allstars, Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and Boots Riley’s (the Coup) Street Sweeper Social Club, Will Bernard, Diane Birch, Alec Ounsworth (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah), Joss Stone, Anders Osborne, Johnny Sansone, John Scofield, Karl Denson, George Porter, Jr., and Leo Nocentelli (of the Meters), Charlie Hunter, Warren Haynes, John Medeski and Chris Wood (of Medeski, Martin and Wood), Donald Harrison Jr., Dr. Lonnie Smith, Dr. John, Tab Benoit and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to name a few. 

Stanton Moore's 3-day "Spirit of New Orleans" drum camp invites students of all ages and playing abilities to enjoy a hands-on drumming experience where they will learn from Stanton and his special teaching guests. This year, Herlin Riley will be presenting the Sunday master class. Moore's mentor and New Orleans legend, Johnny Vidacovich along with other special guest instructors Shannon Powell and John Wooton will all be on hand for private lessons.   Students work alongside SONO teachers on their own individual practice drum sets to amass a total of 24 hours of real playing time over the course of this incredible camp. SONO is a fun, low pressure environment where students can learn from some of the world's best players and educators.
