Local music legend, bassist, guitarist and singer Brian Moore was the epitome of “Local Music Love”, and those that knew him were forever changed by his spirit. He encouraged everyone he met to pursue their dreams and to support the dreams or our community. As a musician, he helped to mentor and promote countless aspiring musicians to reach their potential.

This Year, The fifth Annual “Be Moore Fest” is back on March 7, 2026 in the Downtown Entertainment District.
