SUMMARY:Ian Moore's Acoustic Family Christmas Show
DESCRIPTION:“You should be playing stadiums!” Ian laughs while hearing th
 is after another blazing performance at the 2024 SXSW music festival. Is
  he laughing because he has played his fair share already\, from shows w
 ith some of the most influential musicians of all time\, from the Rollin
 g Stones to Bob Dylan\, to a long line of headline festival performances
 \, or because he knows the folly of the music business? “I’m always aimi
 ng for the fences\,” he says\, but you can tell he’s also motivated by s
 omething deeper. Ian is a triple threat and an artist’s artist. He came 
 up in Austin\, mentored by the greats. Stevie Ray Vaughan famously gave 
 him his first guitar\, and you can hear the lineage in his fingers\, but
  then you hear that voice...” I was obsessed with the soul singers as a 
 kid\,” he says\, and you can hear those influences in his silky falsetto
  and his soulful phrasing. Spin magazine described him as a cross betwee
 n Aaron Neville and Jimi Hendrix\, and that duality sets him apart from 
 so many other guitarists. There is a sensitivity within the fire and an 
 economy in his playing that came from years and years playing with the g
 reats as a young man\, sharing stages with Willie Nelson\, Albert King\,
  Jimmie Vaughan\, Albert Collins\, Doug Sahm\, and many others while sti
 ll in his teens and early twenties. At the same time\, Ian is always sea
 rching for new ways to expand and refine his music\, working with ground
 breaking producers like Mark Howard/Daniel Lanois(Bob Dylan\, U2)\, Joe 
 Chicarelli(White Stripes\, Elton John)\, and more recently\, Adrian Ques
 ada\, whose band ‘the Black Pumas’ was starting to hit as they were maki
 ng Ian’s ‘Strange Days.’ He looks at songwriting through a lens just as 
 serious as Guy Clark or John Prine\, but through a scope that includes i
 nfluences from country blues to brit pop and back. “Man\, many people do
 n’t even listen to lyrics anymore\, but to me\, it is the core of a grea
 t song\, and if the core is hollow\, the rest of it will echo that.” Tha
 t solid foundation has led to four top 20 rock radio hits\, countless TV
  appearances\, and even a feature role In the film Slingblade\, Billy Bo
 b Thornton’s southern gothic masterpiece. With such a rich history\, it 
 would be easy to rest on his accomplishments\, but Ian doesn’t see it th
 at way. “When we pull into a town\, nobody cares what we’ve done in the 
 past\; they want to be electrified\, and our focus is to be the best thi
 ng they have ever seen.” Watching him play to yet another capacity crowd
  and leave them screaming long after he’s left the stage\, you can see h
 is dedication and hunger are just where they need to be. He’s staring do
 wn another touring season filled with festivals and marquee shows and ge
 aring up to record later this year in what will be his twelfth release. 
 It’s a dizzying pace\, and you have to wonder how anyone can keep their 
 focus and integrity with that much action and movement.“I have to speak 
 from the heart.” He says. “It’s the only thing you have and the only thi
 ng that matters. Trends come and go. When you speak from the heart\, you
  never go wrong.” Looking across the field and seeing thousands of fans 
 completely immersed in his music\, you can see a lifetime of soul smilin
 g back at him.\n\nTickets: http://www.prekindle.com/event/76754-ian-moor
