W. Keith Moore lives in Oxford MS. His music embraces the southern nuances and yet it feels bigger than that. He has been writing songs since he was 14. The one thing he always writes is truth. Truth about his hopes, struggles, loves, big things, little things and other things. The Other is a big part of his journey. It is hard to separate the spiritual side of things from the physical for Keith. Some people like to call him a sort of earthy mystic. One can hear the influence of St. John of the Cross on "The Silence of You", and then notice Tolkien on "Wherever You're Going". On his new album "Beloved" Keith takes us on a journey through the struggles of the dark night of the soul and the hope of learning through it all, to love our Beloved. His passion comes across on every track. He sings as if his heart is on fire.
Keith, a convert to Catholicism, wrote and played for 15 years in Nashville before he and his family moved to Oxford. In 2004 Keith co-wrote and co-produced Phil Keaggy's "It's Personal" CD. He also co-wrote with Newsboys guitarist, Jody Davis, for Jody's self titled CD. He has appeared on EWTN’s Life on the Rock, Dana and Friends, and The Journey Home (August 24, 2009). Over the past year he played at the Catholic Underground in New York City and Scranton. He also played at the Defending the Faith conference at Franciscan University. He traveled with Jeff Cavins to follow in the "Footsteps of St. Paul" for 2 weeks in Turkey and Greece. Keith led the music for the daily Mass. Keith’s faith permeates his songs, and his new album Beloved deals with the Dark Night of the Soul through poetic and intimate songs of hope and grace--Dr. Ron Rychlak, University of Mississippi and author of "Hitler, the War and the Pope."
