Daniel Martin Moore is an American singer and songwriter from Cold Spring, Kentucky.
Musical career
After leaving the Peace Corps, Moore mailed Sub Pop Records a four song unsolicited demo in January 2007 and was signed by the label to record his first album Stray Age, which was co-produced by Joe Chiccarelli.
In 2010, Moore joined with fellow Kentucky musician Ben Sollee to record an album entitled Dear Companion, which was produced by and also features Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk. Dear Companion aims to create awareness of the problems surrounding mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia, with Moore and Sollee donating their artist profits from the album to Appalachian Voices in support of the organization’s national campaign to end mountaintop removal mining. In 2010, Moore toured with Ben Sollee and Jim James with stops in Brooklyn and at the Newport Folk Festival where Moore also performed with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
In 2011, Moore released a gospel album, In the Cool of the Day, which was inspired by an old in-house Steinway piano he played during a studio session at WXVU Radio in Cincinnati. In 2011, Moore also founded the record label Ol Kentuck Recordings. The first Ol Kentuck release was Maiden Radio's Lullabies.
