House Concert Announcement-Sunday July 17th

LilFest House Concerts, 711 Lake Av, Wilmette

RSVP 312-371-2284 or njonese@ameritech.net

Dave Moore 3:00 PM, Sunday, July 17th

The music of singer-songwriter Dave Moore reflects 20 years of interest in and performance of the various roots of American music. He performs on guitar, button accordion, harmonica and vocals. Alongside his original songs, expect some blues, a bit of Tex/Mex accordion, and even a few children's songs written during his spells as an artist-in-residence in the schools of Iowa. Moore was a frequent guest on American Public Broadcast's A Prairie Home Companion, and records for Minneapolis based Red House Records. His compact disc Over My Shoulder was named one of the top ten folk albums of 1990 by Pulse Magazine. His most recent recording, Breaking Down To 3, is co-produced by Bo Ramsey. He tours throughout the United States and Canada.
