Dave Moore represents a rich seam in the unique tapestry of roots music coming out of Iowa in the twentieth century. A celebrated rack-harp and button accordion player, as a youngster Dave absorbed the blues recordings of Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter, learned to play country-blues guitar, and then disappeared on a series of extended pilgrimages to Texas and south of the border to study Tejano and Conjunto accordion with legends Fred Zimmerle, and Santiago Jimenez Sr. (father of Flaco and Santiago). Eventually he brought what he’d learned back north, mixing it with country and blues, folk and Gospel, Ragtime and Tin Pan Alley, and releasing three seminal albums on Red House Records, in addition to playing regularly with Greg Brown, and influencing the generation of Midwestern songwriters that includes Jeffrey Foucault, Pieta Brown, Erik Koskinen, The Pines, and others. This limited edition large format (18x24"") poster commemorates the December 11th, 2025 all-star MAGIC DUST tribute show featuring Greg Brown, Iris Dement, Bo Ramsey, Pieta Brown, Joe and Vicki Price, Kris Delmhorst, Erik Koskinen, Kevin Gordon, David Huckfelt, David Zollo, and Phil Heywood singing their favorite Dave Moore songs, backed up by Dave, and joined by Jeffrey Foucault and his longtime road band, featuring Eric Heywood (Pretenders) John Convertino (Calexico), and Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T).All proceeds from the sale of the poster will go toward printing the forthcoming recording of the evening in album form.
