The Shows (Feature 1108.36)
Mr. Music


Dave Moore has been making music around Iowa for the past 25+ years, playing harmonica, guitar and accordion on three of his own albums and with friends Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey and many others on theirs. He's been a frequent guest on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion." and he even spent a short season leading the NPR program's house band. But when he released his 3rd cd, "Breaking Down to Three," in the fall or '99, it had been nearly 10 years since his last recording. Living in Iowa spent some time with Dave at his riverside cabin, in his downtown studio, at home and at a concert in Iowa City and found him to be a traditional musician with a passion for the roots of American music. We hear a little about life on the road - Dave's been travelling extensively since the release of the new record - and a lot about what music means to him: "not actually a religion, but something like a religion."
