Riley Moore is inspired by a life of adventures like walking an entire 1600 mile tour on foot and living on a sailboat on a lake in the middle of his hometown of Nashville. His debut Album Vagrant was premiered by Billboard Magazine in July 2018. His writing often draws comparisons to Bob Dylan and John Prine.

His debut album arrives after the completion of his record-breaking walking tour; he gained notoriety playing festivals and venues that included Philadelphia Folk Fest, Providence Fringe, New York Citys Rockwood Music Hall, Music City Roots, and Magic City Art Festival in Birmingham, Alabama. In the past few years, Moore shared the stage with Arlo Guthrie, Lyle Lovett, Shakey Graves, Rusty Clanton, Town Mountain, Parker Millsap.
