DeAnna Moore

About DeAnna Moore “Moore possesses a gorgeous, siren-powerful voice that captures the attention of anyone who lends an ear...” –Jared Morningstar, cdreviews.com

"A little bit of folk, a dash of pop and a pinch of country." -Brent Hallenbeck, Burlington Free Press

DeAnna Moore, Texas native, has traveled the country from Austin to Boston pouring out truth in the form of pure talent. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, this singer-songwriter has stunned New England crowds with a voice that has been described as “refreshing”, “angelic”, and “mesmerizing”. While Moore began singing at the age of 4, followed by piano at age 8, her intricate finger-picking guitar style was not discovered until the age of 20. The exquisite sound of DeAnna and her Larrivee guitar is rare and captivating- a performance that can hush any crowd.

“Escape”, Moore’s debut album, “is dark, brutal, and most importantly, honest… and if you’re willing to give it a close listen, it’ll capture your emotions from beginning to end.” “This is no happy collection of flower-power songs. The album is a real heartbreaker. It paints a portrait of a woman who has been battered and beaten by love and life.” -cdreviews.com

Myspace favorite: “’Old Fashioned Love’, Moore’s ode to her mother and father’s romance, is truly a lyrical masterpiece in the vein of River-Era Bruce Springsteen… It rips at your heartstrings and by the time it’s over, it’ll have you believing in that Beatles number 'All You Need Is Love' all over again.” –Jared Morningstar, cdreviews.com

“Whether it’s the confession of the naïve woman in 'Fragile', the story of a girl whose lover’s heart is tied to a memory in 'I’m Not Her', or a lady’s desperate attempt to escape in the title track, a combination of Moore’s captivating vocals and her powerfully honest lyrics forces the hearts of listeners to reach out to the tortured soul crying out in song. From the madness of 'Grief' to the unbelievably perfect thunderstorm-supported 'Lullaby Reprise', anyone who listens closely to Escape immediately becomes a part of Moore’s lonely world.” -cdreviews.com

Since the release of “Escape” in May, 2007, DeAnna Moore has been tantalizing crowds all over New England with her crystal clear voice and candid lyrics. A frequent performer across Vermont at venues such as Nectar’s, Langdon St Café, and North Star in Portland, ME, this artist has begun her ascent, stunning listeners and garnering fans along her way. Across the country, sharing the stage with performers such as Anais Mitchell, Session Americana, Meika Pauley, Jer Coons, Shake Russell, Kimmie Rhodes and The Grift, DeAnna Moore is a fresh new artist sure to disarm with her southern charm.
