Nancy Moran is an independent, folk-rock/Americana singer-songwriter who has been singing and performing professionally for more than 25 years at notable folk clubs, performing arts centers, house concerts, and festivals across the nation. With four solo albums to her credit, The Richmond (VA) Times-Dispatch called her “a [modern-day] Joni Mitchell,” as well as “a major force to be reckoned with.” 

From 2005-2012, Moran also toured as a member of The Four Bitchin’ Babes, an all-female group nationally renowned for their four-part vocal harmonies and highly entertaining and comedic performances. 

As co-founder of Azalea Music Group, she teaches musicians, singer-songwriters, indie artists, and other music-moguls-in-training how to get out of their own way so they can get their music out of their basement and into the world at large where it can make a difference. She specializes in working with the not-quite-mainstream and those “second-timers” coming back to music after a long hiatus. But she’s also been known to work with actors, writers, storytellers and other creatives because the principles of pursuing a creative life are often the same regardless of the medium.

Fett is an independent music producer and engineer, author, music career coach, co-founder of the Azalea Music Group in Nashville, and recording/mixing engineer for the 2015 Australian number one album, Jason Owen’s “Friday Night.” He is the author of the popular book “Fett’s Mixing Roadmap: A Step-by-step Guide To Mixing Music In The Studio,” host of www.EmpoweringWomenInAudio.com, and teacher of hands-on recording and production clinics for women. 

Fett is the former technology editor for Performing Songwriter magazine, and occasional journalist for CMA Close Up, Drum!, and Keyboard magazines. His diverse list of clients includes Davy Jones of The Monkees, Grammy-winning songwriter Don Henry, and international guitar virtuosos Tommy Emmanuel and Muriel Anderson.

The “Famous Communicator Speakers Series” is sponsored by the Smyrna Entertainment Arts and Media Club and the Mass Communications program at Motlow State Community College. Upcoming speakers include Appalachian Photographer/Author Clark Wheeler on April 13 (Wednesday). To learn more about this event, contact Professor Charles Whiting at cwhiting@mscc.edu.
