Meet David Martin Moore


So I recently heard David Martin Moore and was stunned, and no that is not an exaggeration. I know that a lot of singer-songwriters come along and they get compared to Elliott Smith or Jeff Buckley, or in the case of Moore, Nick Drake. I don't like making those comparisons, and I'll tell you why. As each verse of Moores song Stray Age slowly unfolds, an underlying message of peace and contentment can be heard, and for me that's a message I need to hear daily.

He may be the latest in an entourage of amiable, melodic, and deep thinking journeymen to hit the indie scene, and will undoubtedly find himself being sized up against the Sam Beams or Bon Ivers, but if you take nothing from this review besides this - know that David Martin Moore sings about universal things that anyone at anytime can relate to, and that's the difference between being compared to someone and someone being compared to you.
