Bio
BluesRoot songs are a unique Americana blend of early blues, rockabilly, and '50's and early '60's rock and roll influences.
BluesRoot pays tribute to the greats and the songs that laid the foundation to America's rock and roll heritage. In addition, the Root delivers the same made in America feel on their own original music.
Described as "Americana blues/rock", the ten songs on BluesRoot's own "Live. Real. In the moment." grab you where you live...the way you live...and how you'd like to live.
Rhapsody lists the CD as one of the 200 most significant new releases. Songs have received airplay on over 400 steaming internet and brick and mortar radio stations.
Full of satire, double meanings, and real life insight, BluesRoot songs, both tribute and original, are emotion filled musical journeys that make you smile, laugh and cry. They tease you with hints of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Muddy Waters and other '50's greats. They deliver a unique musical treat for the soul.
All the original songs were written by '60's music veteran, John D. Moore. He sings, plays acoustic/electric and slide guitar, and adds blues influenced harmonica too. John performs as a solo act using RootMaster (from BluesRoot). Art Borgeson, another lifelong musician, brings a mellow, uptown, Nashville sounding lead guitar, coloring each BluesRoot selection with just the right touch of mood enhancing feel.
When the duo expands to a trio or four piece they are joined by various '60's music veterans, bass and harmonica.
Their "Live. Real. In the moment" CD was recorded live and real...just the way it is supposed to be. No year long studio gimmicks here. Just good songs, played in the moment, by guys who enjoy them.
