Family of Woodstock: Tim Moore - Unplugged | A Benefit for Family of Woodstock

Tim Moore’s timeless melodies and deeply expressive lyrics have earned acclaim from master songwriters like Jimmy Webb, Keith Richards, James Taylor, and Elton John. He’s best known for his classic ballad, “Second Avenue” and his number-one Brazilian hit “Yes.”

In this special benefit show for Family of Woodstock, Tim will play a set of his best songs—unplugged—on Maverick’s magnificent grand piano.  Later in the evening, he’ll be joined by jazz veterans Rich Syracuse (bass) and Jeff Seigel (drums) to reveal another side of his musicianship that few have heard.

In Maverick’s intimate outdoor setting, audiences will discover the many sides of Tim Moore: songwriter, pianist, vocalist, interpreter, and improviser. Tim’s Maverick appearance follows his sold-out 2026 concert at the Byrdcliffe Theater, where he will return this fall with his full band.

A longtime Woodstock resident, Tim Moore arrived in Woodstock at the height of its musical renaissance. After winning $25,000 grand prize at the American Song Festival, he was signed by David Geffen to the prestigious Asylum label, joining an artist roster that featured Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and Bob Dylan. Tim went on to release five critically acclaimed albums on Asylum and toured extensively, sharing bills with Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Billy Joel, and the Beach Boys. Four years after his American Song Festival win, Tim flew to New Zealand to serve as America’s representative for the Pacific Song Festival in Christchurch.

Tim Moore and his trio are donating their talents to benefit Family of Woodstock. Family is celebrating 56 years of helping people with “any problem under the sun.” This year, the agency will see its long-time Executive Director Michael Berg retire at the end of September. Michael’s commitment to the agency’s clients, working tirelessly on behalf of those who need help with housing, food, clothing, employment, domestic violence support, and more, is being celebrated with several events throughout the year.
