Gene was recently shown performing each night during the Olympic Medal ceremonies in Italy in a worldwide multimedia project called One Olympic. Gene’s guitar solo thrilled over 200,000 visitors per evening for 19 nights.
Gene also composed, performed and recorded the music/vocal track of the US Soccer stadium chant titled, "Goals, Goals Goals." This song plays over the giant sound systems, multiple times during every U.S. stadium soccer match.

Accessible Genius. This CD touched me so deeply at one point I had tears streami
author: Mark ShepardGene Moore writes songs and performs and arranges them in a way that is universal and pertinent to our lives. I spent an hour listening to this CD and there were a number of times when the open hearted emotion was resonating something deep in me. By the last tune I had tears streaming down my face. The production as always with Gene Moore's work is flawless, the arrangements capture a "live" feel. The lyrics do for me what lyrics should. They challenge me, touch me, soothe me, connect me and often catch me off guard emotionally.
Love It!!
author: HeniGene is a very talented musician and his CD is great! I am able to relate to the words and meanings of his songs. I am looking forward to his next CD!
love it, love it, love it
author: jimi (not the real one)was admittedly cautious or skeptical at first listen. gene's ability to play guitar spoiled many of us and perhaps overshadowed his brilliance as a singer songwriter. he has clearly found his inner soul and i find it incredible what a true artist can do when he is allowed to create on his own terms. this is BEAUTIFUL..!!! Definitely should be added to any collection...!!!
You better not skip this one...
author: Ray KClean and beautiful...tweak your stereo with this cd..
Music For The Soul
author: Steve P.Modern materialism and superficiality have strangled our ability to delve deeper into the human spirit to better understand and appreciate each other. Gene Moore's inspiring collection of ten original songs attempts to break that barrier and challenges us to, "peel off the layers we're under to discover the gift in disguise." These are personal and reflective songs of life experiences depicting the struggles associated with the searching for answers and the resulting suffering caused by the inevitable percentage of questionable choices made. Indeed, songs about dark, foreboding subjects such as substance abuse, domestic violence and death are certainly weighty material to cover, however they are tempered by Gene's optimism of the innate good in all of us and the indomitable resiliency of the human spirit. At their core, these are songs of hope and the opportunities available to all of us, through spiritualism and Christianity, to open our minds and recognize and receive the good in everyone. Gene is able to express these messages clearly in his music without being judgmental or preachy. Regardless of the lyrical messages however, the words count for nothing if the music doesn't move you. Simply stated, the musical composition and instrumentation are outstanding and you'll find yourself singing along to the catchy choruses. Gene is responsible for all the instruments and arrangements and absent, IMHO, some additional vocal harmonies on "I Give Up" and chunky horns on "If You Were Mine", they are first rate. Check out the song, "Time Flys", a soaring guitar instrumental quite simple in its progressions yet so expansive that each note resonates, captivating and transfixing the listner into a messmarizing and reflective state of mind. This is an exciting debut effort from a wonderful singer/songwriter who, "let go of the wheel and listened to that voice within" to create a very introspective and personal recording for which anyone who truly takes the time to listen to will be better for it. BRAVO!
Great stuff !!!!!!!! Keep it comming !!!!!!!!!!
author: Bob BuccheriA great album to kick your shoes off,relax and escape your hectic day.............
More, More, Moore!
author: Stephen & Lucy V.What a treasure trove of talent in one package! Everyone can find a song they can relate to on this CD. Gene’s songs are filled with spirituality, passion, love and life. This is a CD worthy of staying in our collection of original and talented artists. Gene, don’t give up, we want more.
WOW - just fantastic
author: VictoriaIt's so good it's left me speechless. He writes fabulous songs and certainly does them justice in these arrangements. And he plays it all himself! Best stuff I have heard in a long, long time.
Subtle Intensity and Passionately Effortless
author: TomIt’s Sunday morning. You go to your dresser looking for your favorite pair of jeans just out of the wash. As you wiggle into them, you know that the longer you wear them, the more they will stretch and the more comfortable you will become. That’s what it’s like listening to Gene on this CD. Each song draws you closer and closer until they are all just one big life experience. The songs and the music shimmer without ever being cluttered. Gene shows you a subtle intensity whether in the percolating guitar on “I’ve Got You” or the smoldering phrasing of “If You Were Mine” or “On My Own”. The music is passionately effortless! As you listen you become instantly comfortable, challenged and humbled. The lyrics deal with complex emotions in a personal and spiritual way. Gene’s songs have a way of pulling you in, showing optimism and pessimism and then pulling the emotional rug right out from underneath you. It is an introspective work which crawls into the corners of your mind; lurking and waiting to be attended to. Bravo Gene and thanks for sharing this work with us all!
Incredible!
author: LaurieThis CD is amazing! The lyrics are so personal and insightful and the tracks are so pure...no studio tricks, just incredible music.
UNBELIEVABLE!! A must have for music lovers!
author: Michael D.This is an incredible collection of heartfelt songs. Each one is easy to listen to and anyone can relate to them. The lyrics are well written, the music is smooth. Gene loves his music, and you can feel that in each of these songs. Great job!!!
Something for everybody
author: Linda B.Something for everybody here, and all of it is easy to listen to. Catchy, meaningful lyrics and tunes had me singing along immediately. The instrumental is all good, but the electric guitar spots REALLY got my attention. Great first effort ... I'm already waiting for the next one!
AWSOME!!!!!
author: John WThis is a great cd and the insterments sound really great with the songs. Your going to be a really good artist Mr.Moore and thank you for the cd
I can see my life in each of your songs.
author: SuzanneIt could be that maybe I see myself in your songs because you've been in my life for so long and you know me so well. It could also possibly be that I see myself in your songs because of who I am and how well I can relate anything to my own trials and triumphs. I think, however, that I see myself in your songs because your songs speak to anyone who has ever laughed out loud or cried to themselves, for people who have made monumental mistakes or for those who have made mountains from which they can see the world. You've always had a way of helping people open their eyes. Thank you for sharing your music with such devotion. I really think that anyone listening will find themselves saying, "Hey, that song is about me!!!" (smiley face, exclamation point)

Gene has captured the latest sound of modern music in a very talented rendition of self composing, accompanyment and singing. It is very relaxing, yet awesome, to listen to. This is a truly worthwhile CD.
Finally ! A tallented lyric writer tunes' in to the real world...
author: SteveThis guy's a real talent, the instrumental track # 6 reminds of a cross between Johnson and Satriani. If he would add a little more harmony utilizing some backup vocals, he will make the Radio.
beautiful poetry and beautiful music
author: sylviathe lyrics are beautiful and insightful, like poetry. they touch your heart as you find yourself singing along and on some level relating to each one, a great new collection of songs that will be a worthwhile addition to anyones cd collection. thank you!
Insightful lyrics and moving music!
author: Laura AtwellI love this CD! I think it is permanently stuck in my car's CD player! The lyrics are insightful and the music is moving. Alternately, the songs make you think, make you smile, make you want to get up and dance, and make you want to blare the music and sing along. I've already passed copies on to friends and family.
