Deek Moore

You'll be hard pressed to find an artist that represents Texas/Red Dirt music as much as Deek Moore. Deek was born on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and raised in Ada. He taught himself to play guitar during high school, began to dabble with songwriting in college and has moved forward to become the complete musician. After college, Deek moved to the Lone Star State settling first in Amarillo. Following years of writing and playing there, Deek moved to Austin in 1999 with the ulterior motive of pursuing music. He found himself performing at open mic nights and acoustic gigs before finally releasing his debut single in 2003 titled "Don't Tread on Me" which went into regular radio rotation in and around Central Texas. The decision to record his debut full length CD, "31" was spurred by the fan and industry approval of "Don't Tread on Me".Deek's music can not be boxed into one genre. There are elements of Southern rock, classic country and 1980's hair bands that blend to form a one- of-a-kind sound. Deek's voice has exceptional range which allows for a simple and clean sound that mixes with his deep, soul-bearing lyrics to yield songs that you can't get out of your head. Crowd favorites from his debut CD include Cinch, Broken and Upside Down. Deek's range and songwriting prowess are best exemplified by the song "Leave Me Alone", an emotional touching tale of the human heart.Deek has played in and around the Austin area extensively, including shows at Hills Cafe and Stubbs to name a just a couple of venues. The Lockhart Chisholm Trail Festival, Buda Fire Fest and Guadapalooza top the list of festivals Deek has had the privilege of being a part. Jason Allen, Kevin Fowler, The Derailers, Aaron Watson and the Randy Rogers Band have all finished out the night for Deek. Another accolade on Deek's wall is being one of the featured musicians in the December 2005 issue of the Oklahoma magazine. Even as the venue list and press interest grows while Deek finishes out the night for other musicians, one thing will never change, I play because I love it.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
