Known for his elegant songwriting and instrumental prowess on blues guitar, button accordion and harmonica, Dave Moore is one of the most prolific songwriters to emerge from the state of Iowa. After some traveling through Latin America, he found that the college town of Iowa City had turned into quite the music scene in his absence upon his return in 1980. It was then that he teamed up with local songwriter Greg Brown, who was just beginning to develop a national reputation. For the next few years Dave backed up Brown on recording projects, extensive tours and several appearances on Garrison Keillor's popular A Prairie Home Companion on NPR, of which he led the band on during their tours in Hawaii and Alaska. His most well-known album is Breaking Down Into 3, which was recorded with an all-Iowan band. The songs encapsulate the quintessential American experience by drawing on the artists own life experiences.
