R. Stevie Moore

Improviser, composer, arranger, producer, musical conceptualist, comedy writer, vocal stylist, filmmaker, sketchpad artist, drama example, self-taught instrumentalist and bon vivant, R.Stevie Moore was born in 1952 in Nashville Tennessee to famed Elvis bass player Bob.

Since 1966 R. Stevie Moore has recorded nearly 2,000 songs on over 400 very original homemade albums of alarmingly idiosyncratic variety and styles, often considered a seminal pioneer in the DIY ethic. Remaining virtually unknown, he quietly resided in New Jersey as curator of his own museum until now. Having played for the first time in 40 years in Autumn 2011, Field Day will be R. Stevie Moore’s first ever London Festival.
