JEFF MOORE
One of the most notable Irish musicians living in the Southwest, Jeff Moore has been playing the guitar and singing since the age of seven and has been studying and performing traditional Irish music for more than a decade. A long-time session musician in Texas, Jeff was one of the founding members of the high-energy Texas Irish band Cluan. He has performed with many regional ensembles, namely The Sarah Dinan Band, Carey Street, Poor Man’s Fortune, and continues to perform in duets with fiddler Heather Gilmer. Jeff has also had the privilege to accompany national and international traditional musicians such as Joe Burke, Johnny B.Connolly, Jerry Holland, James Keane, James Kelly, Brian McNeill, Ed Miller, Mick Moloney, Mark Stone, John Taylor and John Williams. Jeff has acquired a significant song and tune repertoire of his own which is now the focus of his solo performances and his solo recording “The Dove’s Perch.” Jeff’s distinctive combination of haunting lyrics, rousing flat-picked rhythms and poignant finger-style melodies have drawn praise from audiences from Austin to Boston

JEFF MOORE
Guitar Instruction: The essence of traditional Irish music is the melody and these melodies (or tunes) were typically unaccompanied until the late 1960’s, at which time the guitar was carefully introduced to the genre via the influence of the folk revival. Since then, guitars have been a common fixture within the music, but the melody continues to be the focal point. Jeff teaches concepts and techniques that focus on how to tastefully accompany Irish tunes in a way that respects the melody and the tradition of the music. What’s more he offers insight into what is expected of guitarists that attend that most integral part of the Irish music tradition, the ‘Session.’ Jeff offers lessons both privately in the Austin TX metropolitan area and in public workshops at festivals and music camps. These are geared toward the individual with a prior knowledge of guitar basics. Some of the topics that may be covered are: - Chords for DADGBE and DADGAD tunings - Basic rhythms for jigs, reels, hornpipes, etc. - Picking and strumming techniques - Session etiquette - Session dynamics for the accompanist - Rhythmic variations - Transitioning between chords - Walking baselines - Modal accompaniment Jeff has taught at the following events: Austin Friends of Traditional Music Mid-Winter Festival Austin TX Austin Celtic Festival Austin TX
O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat Midlothian TX (Dallas TX) North Texas Irish Festival Dallas TX
