About Dave Moore: Portrait of an American Songwriter

 
This Iowa City folksinger shuffles Buck Owens and Blind Willie Johnson covers in with his originals so deftly you can't tell which is which. A Voice Choice." - The Village Voice



Singer-songwriter Dave Moore thrives in the deepest roots of American music including traditional blues, country, and Mexican-American.



"One of America's best talents" - Boston Herald.



"A masterful musician who plays guitar, harmonica and button accordion, Dave Moore is also one of the best songwriters in the business. His songs contain a warmth, humor and passion that goes right to the heart and soul of American music." - Chicago Sun Times



"The truth is that Dave Moore is one of America's finest songwriters. He is someone who can pull memories from a battered Gibson like wrinkled shirts from a road-worn suitcase. He blows harp like he was born with it between his lips. And he works the mic as if he was letting us in on the secrets of the world." - Dirty Linen
