A Poet's Voice in a Jazz Lounge

Maggie Moor’s gentle, sleek voice and vivid, poetic lyrics create cinematic landscapes for the listener. Her performances deliver personal songs and rhythmic spoken word, drawing audiences in with lush arrangements and improvisational jazz bridges.

Maggie has performed at renowned venues across NYC and New Jersey, including The Cutting Room, The Knitting Factory, Secret Lounge, The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, LeftField Lounge, and The Stone Pony.

Her albums feature collaborations with legendary artists like David Sanborn, Kenny Rampton (Wynton Marsalis), Richie Cannata (Billy Joel Band), Rob Paparozzi (Blood, Sweat & Tears), and Eddie Ojeda (Twisted Sister).

Maggie Moor is the creator of “Charmay: New York Noir,” author of “Skinless” (Book 1), a psychological noir set in NYC, inspired by Maggie Moor’s life as a songwriter. Its beat‑poetic, jazzy style echoes her music—braiding the power of the inner voice, and the healing force of song. She writes, records and performs all Charmay music. The companion album, “Skinless: Songs from the Book,” features music by Charmay and Maggie Moor drawn from the world of the novel.
