Ian Moore, the Seattle-based, Austin, TX-born guitar player, singer andsongwriter makes the proverbial renaissance man look lazy. Coming on
the heels of Strange Days, his most successful record since his
eponymous debut and despite a never-ending cycle of touring, Moore
offers a new release of bright, blazing rock-n-roll that combines his
legendary guitar prowess with radio-friendly songs that showcase his
elastic, soul-inflected vocals.
“It’s a very different climate right now. When we hit a city, it doesn’t matter
that i have 14 records, radio hits, etc. The only thing that matters is if we
can really show up and leave the people feeling they saw something
amazing. It keeps me hungry, and I like the challenge” says Moore.
For years, Ian has had his eyes on the challenges faced by musicians of
every stripe, having experienced the spectrum of artist successes and
tribulations over a nearly 30-year career. In response, he founded the
artist’s healthcare alliance SMASH (Seattle Musicians Access to
Sustainable Healthcare) and has joined the board of NARAS for the Pacific
Northwest as governor and head of the advocacy committee.
You might have been surprised to hear Moore’s voice popping up on major
network shows on prime time television this past year; several selections
were prominently being featured as performances on both American Idol
and The Voice (“Satisfied” and “Blue Sky”).
Moore’s story is often told and probably familiar to most critics; his initial
record on Capricorn propelled him to national tours with the Rolling
Stones, ZZ Top and Bob Dylan, acting in the acclaimed indie feature Sling
Blade and having Ice Cube direct the video for his track “Harlem.”
Moore deviated from his initial blues-oriented guitar sound on subsequent
records, touching on graceful pop songs and the psychedelic as well as
British pub rock and deep Americana. Toronto and its 6 tracks represents
those influences in such a way that they have informed his songwriting,
but is likely more recognizable as a strong collection of the kind of guitar
rock his core fan base would respond to immediately.
