"Moore offers a new release of bright, blazing rock-n-roll that combines his legendary guitar prowess with radio-friendly songs that showcase his elastic, soul-inflected vocals." - Glide Magazine

"The anthemic “Lords of the Levee” is a contemporary, relevant take on the atmosphere of the U.S. right now. “It’s an attack on group thought,” Moore says, “which is most typically shrouded in God and country, that allows people to do some really terrible things. I wrote it about the Alabama voters rights act, and how the people that opposed it used both God and country to justify their abhorrent behavior.” It captures Ian’s blistering live sound probably better than any recording he’s released in recent memory." - Innocent Words

Ian Moore offers a new release of bright, blazing rock-n-roll that combines his legendary guitar prowess with radio-friendly songs that showcase his elastic, soul-inflected vocals. “It’s a very different climate right now. When we hit a city, it doesn’t matter that I have 14 records, radio hits, etc. The only thing that matters is if we can really show up and leave the people feeling they saw something amazing. Its keeps me hungry, and I like the challenge” says Moore.

Moore’s story is often told and probably familiar to most critics; his initial record on Capricorn propelled him to national tours with the Rolling Stones, ZZ Top and Bob Dylan, acting in the acclaimed indie feature Sling Blade and having Ice Cube direct the video for his track “Harlem.”

Toronto represents his initial blues-oriented guitar sound, touching on graceful pop songs and the psychedelic as well as British pub rock and deep Americana. This collection of guitar rock his fans will respond to immediately & captures his blistering live sound better than any recording since his Capricorn debut.

Ian also founded the artist’s healthcare alliance SMASH (Seattle Musicians Access to Sustainable Healthcare).
