Joshua Moore
Bio// Super heros, Tooth fairies, Santa Claus, and the Boogie Man---- growing up in  small town Alabama, Joshua Moore believed in them all.  As a kid, Joshua was famous around town for putting on front yard talent shows where he was always the main attraction.  He would create the music, craft his own costumes, and put together, what he believed were, show stopping performances.  His siblings were constantly laughing, "That's just Josh".  His parents knew he was different… always dreaming.  His voice had a natural vibe.   His melodies would wrap you up like cool, autumn breezes; cozy, slow winters; spring newness; and,  long, lazy summer days. Currently, Joshua is committed to translating those melodies into amazing music with a global purpose.  His desire is to shine hope, love, and peace in the world. His music is his message.  Joshua's debut album,  "The Many Faces of Joshua Moore", promises to etch his musical genius into your soul,  with these extraordinary original songs —  "Peace" invites the world to heal itself.  It is a prayer for peace that can heal all nations and people, in a world where war, including nuclear annihilation, often seem fingertips away. "We The People – (A Revolution Song)"  is a powerful song about revolution of thought, power in unity, and the world's people claiming life, liberty, and happiness. It is a timely and timeless song celebrating movement and movements all over the world. Life, freedom, and happiness are basic, fundamental, human rights desired by men, women, and children all over the world.  Many describe the crises of the Rohingya people as the most urgent emergency challenging  the whole of humanity.  Numbers reveal that "globally, one in every 122 humans is either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum."  [UNHCR]  And, in our own backyards, many feel "exiled" due to  sexism, racism, xenophobia, gun violence, bullying, drug addictions, suicide,  poverty, etc.  "Rohingya, et al.", is a piercing cry for all displaced, hurting people. "Home" gets inside of you, and sets up camp.  Is home a place?   Is it a space in time?  Is it a relationship?   Is it a feeling?  A chameleon idea, "Home" will stick to your bones long after the last note.  It resonates. "Trading Places" reminds you of who you are at your center, at your core. Hauntingly naked and honest, it is an innocent return to self. Some spend a lifetime searching for "It".  That thing that gives life meaning.  That thing that makes life worth living.  "Destiny" takes you around the world to bring you back to the realization that "It" is within.  "Live" is a song about release, relief, and understanding that we only control the man in the mirror.  After your best, "just let it go"! "Dreaming"  is simply a song about love. "Mud On Your Boots" is a good ole' knee-slapping, barn-raising, line-dancing country party song headed straight to Nashville. Josh embraces his brand of "country" with amazing passion. It just gets better!
