Englert Presents

Magic Dust: The Songs of Dave Moore
Live @ The Englert

Thursday, December 11 @ 7:30 PM

The Englert Theatre is proud to present Magic Dust: The Songs of Dave Moore. If you don't know his music yet, come to his free-to-attend performance at the Iowa City Songwriters Festival this weekend, happening Saturday at The Black Angel.

Dave Moore represents a rich seam in the unique tapestry of roots music coming out of Iowa in the twentieth century. A celebrated rack-harp and button accordion player, as a youngster Dave absorbed the blues recordings of Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter, learned to play country-blues guitar, and then disappeared on a series of extended pilgrimages to Texas and south of the border to study Tejano and Conjunto accordion with legends Fred Zimmerle, and Santiago Jimenez Sr. (father of Flaco and Santiago). 

On December 11th, for one night only, the Englert hosts an all-star tribute organized by Jeffrey Foucault and featuring Greg Brown, Iris Dement, Bo Ramsey, Pieta Brown, Joe and Vicki Price, Kris Delmhorst, Erik Koskinen, David Huckfelt, David Zollo, and Phil Heywood singing their favorite Dave Moore songs, backed up by Dave himself, and joined by Jeffrey Foucault and his band, featuring Eric Heywood (Pretenders) John Convertino (Calexico), and Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T).

Member Presale: Tuesday, September 2 @ 10 AM CT
