“It Took Five Years...” Review in Daytona Beach News-Journal.

If you happened to pick up the Friday, July 8th edition of the Daytona Beach News-Journal, I hope you ventured past the all too disturbing local headlines to the local entertainment section, GO 386.

Thanks to entertainment writer Rick de Yampert and Dave Wersinger in editing, the entertainment section featured a spotlight on recent releases by area musicians. And the second titled highlighted...? Tom Moore. “It Took Five Years but Now We’re Doing Fine”.

Those guys are great. Big thanks! Although I haven’t heard enough of James Blunt’s material to really comment on that reference, anybody who compares my music to a track from The Beatles is alright with me!

Read the entire review on the GO 386 website.

It’s nice to get a little momentum whilst waist deep recording my new project. Or should I say: projects. More on that later.  Thanks for all your support.

I Need You Now by tommooremusic

"I Need You Now" Music Video Shoot

Of all the tracks on my latest release It Took Five Years but Now We're Doing Fine, the most successful track by far on the web and from listener feedback is the song "I Need You Now".  Perhaps it's because my song coincidentally shares it's name with  the cross-over country pop single that airs incessantly on your local top 40 radio station. But more than likely, it is the charming voice of my lovely wife Meagan, who debuts on this duet, that has captured the hearts of my central Florida listeners.

That being the case, "I Need You Now" was the natural choice for the music video shoot that was organized as an extra curricular project for the digital video students from Seminole State College in Heathrow, FL.  Thanks to Dan Walker and his students for offering to help me out!  We really had a great time and I can't wait to see the finished product!

The shoot was filmed at our very own downtown Lake Mary.  We filmed a few shots of Meagan and I acting out our little marital squabble that is depicted in the song. Then we did a few takes of us performing the song live.  It's in the creative hands of the SSC students now!  And rest assured that I will share my first official music video with you as soon as I can.

Be sure to put your name on my email list so that you get all the latest news!

New EP from Tom Moore Available Now

"The debut EP from indie acoustic singer/songwriter Tom Moore, "It Took Five Years..." is a blend of acoustic pop/rock and indie folk in the vein of Badly Drawn Boy and Iron and Wine with songwriting reminiscent of early '70s Paul McCartney. With striking vocals and lyrical honesty Moore uses the five songs on the EP to chronicle a five year love story."

At long last the new EP on which I have been working tirelessly has been released! I'm really happy with the way everything turned out. The album sounds and looks amazing, just how I had imagined it. I really think the music on the EP is a honest reflection of who I am as an artist and a musician. It feels like me...no pretenses.

We had the album release show at Stardust Coffee and Video Saturday. It was awesome! Thanks to everyone that made it out. The show went really well (despite what my wife says about her microphone not working...we'll get it next time). And The Blackhands set was a perfect fit.

Now I have a bit of a break until the next performance in Debary. So, in the meantime, I will be working on some online marketing, arranging for digital distribution, spending time with OTSB. Thanks for all of your support through the whole process. It's really nice to have people every now and again say something like "When is your CD coming out?" Makes me feel like I haven't been forgotten.

If you haven't got a copy yet, you can buy the physical CD or the digital download at my official website: www.tommooremusic.com

Thanks again
