ThaMuseMeant is a Virginian folk-rock quintet. 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.
Etymology
The name ThaMuseMeant is a pun on the word amusement, an English word for excitement or glee. The name came to the band back in the early 90's when the band was just a trio comprised of Aimee Curl, Nathan Moore, and David Tiller. The group was looking for a band name in the dictionary when they saw the word amusement, a fun question they felt their music might answer.
