Moten reflects, "I've enjoyed a long musical career, both as a solo artist and background vocalist, and I'm blessed to have reached a point in my artistic evolution where I have earned the freedom to sing the songs that I love, regardless of genre, and take the stage on my own terms. Playing venues like Lincoln Center and Birdland are dreams come true for me, as is the honor of taking the stage with musicians like Vince Gill, whom I deeply respect and admire. I look forward to this exciting season in my life and a summer on the road!"
