Dave Moore is one of the great songwriters to come out of the state of Iowa. Known for his elegant songwriting and instrumental prowess on blues guitar, button accordion and harmonica he has become somewhat of a legend. He is a folksinger, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who performed regularly on A Prairie Home Companion between 1986 and 2014. In 1985, he won a National Endowment for the Arts grant to study Conjunto accordion with Fred Zimmerle in Texas; he had previously "spent the bulk of the '70s traveling through Latin America and the American South and West, soaking in a wide range of musical influences along the way," and studying with folk musicians in San Cristobal de las Casas and Chiapas.
