I'm Rick Moore, a guitarist/songwriter currently living in Las Vegas. I was a pro musician in LA, Vegas and Nashville, as well as a longtime professional music journalist and radio announcer; I wrote for 11 years for American Songwriter magazine in Nashville as well as many newspapers and websites. I'm a storyteller, mostly influenced by writers like Sting, Bowie, Townshend and Neil Young, though I also do some country parody-type songs.

Rick Moore, Songwriter, Nashvill

A former professional musician who played several instruments on stage, I now write songs in Nashville. I've been involved in the music business for 30+ years in nearly every capacity you can name, working in one area or another with such acts as Los Lobos, the Flecktones, Wayne Newton, David Grisman, the old Tonight Show Band and many others. Worked for years in radio as a classical and jazz announcer, newsman and Christian talk show host. And I'm the only person I know in Nashville who was on the Gong Show (got gonged by Casey Kasem's wife). I'm also a widely-published, award-winning professional freelance writer, and the Nashville correspondent for TONEAudio music magazine; I've been published in countless magazines and newspapers and two Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Originally from the IA-IL Quad-Cities, I also lived and performed in Michigan, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
