[edit] Musical career
After leaving the Peace Corps[2] Moore mailed Sub Pop Records a four song unsolicited demo in January 2007 and was signed by the label to record his first album "Stray Age" which was co-produced by Joe Chiccarelli.[3]
In 2010 Moore joined with fellow Kentucky musician Ben Sollee to record an album entitled "Dear Companion" which was produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk who is also featured on the album[4] to create awareness of the Mountaintop Removal coal mining problems in Appalachia.[5] In 2010 Moore toured with Ben Sollee and Jim James with stops in Brooklyn and at the Newport Folk Festival where Moore also performed with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.[6]
In 2011 Moore released a gospel album, "In the Cool of the Day", which was inspired by an old in-house Steinway piano he played during a studio session at WXVU Radio in Cincinnati.[7]
