In The Country with Dave Woods

Growing up with music as a strong influence throughout his life, Alberta Country artist JT Moore has been performing since he was just eight years old. He took guitar lessons early in life but found it to be quite the challenge so he switched over to drums and excelled at them. Family functions were looked forward to, as he was able to jam with his Grandpa who played the harmonica and spoons. But his musical family doesn't stop there...his Dad played the electric guitar, his Uncle played the accordion and his cousin played the piano and trumpet. Although he still plays drums, JT returned to playing the guitar to assist in his songwriting. With a passion for poetry, he enrolled in writing classes to learn how to put his words with music and has been songwriting ever since. One of the songs JT wrote (A Dollar Short And A Dream Too Late) was produced in Nashville by Jim Allison, who has produced award winning songs for the likes of LeAnn Rimes, Del Reeves, Billy Ray Cyrus, Reba McEntire and others. In 2008, he was chosen over 4,500 competitors as a regional finalist for the NBC talent search show Nashville Star. Tune in to hear JT talk about his start in music, songwriting, the upcoming release of his debut album "What I Live For" & much more.
