Robin's hair by:

aboutDeep Roots (touched up a bit)Southern Gothic? In music form? Yes. Think the works of Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty set to music and you have the songwriting duo, Robin and Tom Moore.Robin's roots go deep into the Alabama red clay where cotton was king and the poor his humble servants. Whites and blacks worked side-by-side in fields they could never own. Sitting at the feet of her "Momma's People", she not only listened to their stories, some true and some spun wildly, she set them to music. Brian Ross, Producer and Manager of Railroad Earth calls Robin's voice, "...pensive, not unlike a younger Lucinda Williams". Maggie Ferguson, producer of the Live! From the Livingroom! Acoustic Showcase, and of the radio program "Old Front Porch" at Oakland University says the music of Robin Moore & The NorthStars is" full of heart and the gritty blues of the deep south".Tom's family are Arkansas and Kentucky transplants. He felt the "hillbilly" rising up in him when Robin began belting out Ms. Patsy Cline. Previous to their "union" he was a classic rock devotee. Now he can count himself as a grateful, born again southerner.Garry Valentine hails from Indiana (Indianerrr) and has played in countless West Coast and Midwest country bands. He contributes to the Southern Gothic soundscape via guitar, and a good player is he.Young brother, Evan Profant, is a true child prodigy. Don't let this youth fool you. He is truly an old soul with a musical catalog that includes jazz, classic rock, blues, and Americana.InstrumentationRobin Moore: VocalsTom Moore: vocals, guitar, bassGarry Valentine: guitarsJeff Grondin: guitarsEvan Profant: drumsand from time-to-time:"Mr. Bill" Harrison: Accorion and Keys**We also offer "Robin Moore's Cotton Pickin' Trio" which features our originals ala acoustic as well as old-timey, gospel, and a little swampy blues!**Discography"My Momma's People" our EP is currently out and available via our website! www.mooretunes.netRadio Play:***"Hot Gravy & Ham"-BRTO Netherlands***My Momma's People"-Americana OK w/Tom Fahey, CJAM Radio Windsor newsWhat's up...Our most recent adventure (Nov 4th)was playing at the venerable Eagle Theater in downtown Pontiac...me and Tom's old stompin' grounds!
