With four straight Grammy Award nominations for Rock Gospel album and a string of No.1 radio hits throughout the last decade, Geoff Moore chose at the height of his success to take some time off for an introspective look at life and has emerged with a new style, new lyrics, a new look and new lease on life on his ForeFront Records first-ever, self-titled project, Geoff Moore.
"This is a natural progression of what it means to have lived a few more years," Moore explains, "and learned from my experiences, what it means to have failed and succeeded, what it means to have taken a good, hard look at the life that I've lived so far."
With themes of grace, perseverance, compassion and charity, friendship and love, Moore delivers a multifaceted, yet back-to-basics acoustic sound, built upon compelling melodies that showcase his distinctive, impassioned voice.
Fans of Geoff Moore know of this Michigan native's 10-plus year run with his rock band The Distance and his award winning song collaborations with his best friend Steven Curtis Chapman. While The Distance has disbanded and Moore has moved on to the next season of his musical career, the songwriting collaborations with Chapman have not only continued, but also strengthened.
On this latest project, Moore and his buddy Chapman co-wrote three of the 11 songs, even performing one as a duet. The song "Thanks To You" is filled with the fun and joy of a true friendship, and even adds a little behind-the-scenes humor as Gospel Music Association Dove Award winning producer Monroe Jones (Chris Rice, Third Day) kept some of the original studio fun in the mix. Moore and Chapman met in the early 80's when Moore sang on a demo for one of Chapman's new songs. Chapman liked Moore's voice and Moore liked Chapman's songwriting. The friendship grew. Chapman has recorded several songs co-written with Moore as well, including the No.1 songs "Speechless," and "The Great Adventure," which brought the songwriting duo the 1993 Dove Award for Song of the Year.
Geoff Moore not only reflects Geoff's friendships and musical talents; it also depicts the state of his heart. As a husband of 16 years and a father of two boys just entering adolescence, Moore's recent time off to recharge and reconnect with his family after touring so solid for so long brought him back to a focus of what truly matters - a rediscovery of the simple life. This is reflected in Moore's new songs from the love song, "With You," written to his wife Jan, to the gentle reminders of "String Around My Finger," and "Belong."
