"Matt Moore's music has the ability to meet people where they are at and connect with their very heart and soul. His passion and creative ability to touch the core of a person with his music is what sets him apart from other artists." Shannon Marden, Youth Director - Coleman Wesleyan Church (Coleman, MI)
Though he comes from a small town in Central Michigan, Matt Moore's sound is anything but small, and neither is his list of accomplishments. Launching a solo career in 2007 with only an acoustic guitar and a few original songs Matt quickly gained a reputation as the “must see” artist in his area. Captivating audiences with his engaging songwriting, passionate live performance and tenacious work ethic, Matt has performed at over 500 events in just the past few years, sharing the stage with artists like StellarKart, John Reuben, The Afters, Remedy Drive, Caedmon's Call, Newworldson and many more.
In 2009 Matt released his first EP entitled "No Place Left to Hide." The seven song modern rock debut contained several radio single's that are still receiving airplay on radio stations around the country, with the album’s opening track "Change In Me" eventually reaching #1 on the IndieMusic.com charts.
In the summer 2010 Matt decided to take his live show to the next level and started performing with a full backing band. With influences ranging from rock bands like Alice in Chains, Fuel and U2 to pop singer/songwriters like Howie Day and Chris Tomlin the band hit the ground running. The brand new lineup performed for the very first time at the Big Ticket Festival, the largest Christian music festival in northern Michigan, where they were voted the winners of the "Indie Stage" competition. With their tireless energetic performance, dynamic live show, and a genuine passion for connecting with and serving their audience, the band has continued to establish Matt Moore as an artist you simply must experience to fully appreciate.
