With four straight Grammy Award nominations for Rock Gospel album
and a string of No.1 radio hits throughout the last decade, Geoff
Moore chose at the height of his success to take some time off
for an introspective look at life and has emerged with a new style,
new lyrics, a new look and new lease on life on his ForeFront
Records first-ever, self-titled project, Geoff Moore.
Fans of Geoff Moore know of this Michigan native's 10-plus year
run with his rock band. The Distance and his award winning song
collaborations with his best friend Steven Curtis Chapman. While
The Distance disbanded in1998, and Moore has moved on to the next
season of his musical career, the songwriting collaborations with
Chapman have not only continued, but also strengthened.
On this new project, Moore and his buddy Chapman co-wrote three
of the 11 songs, even performing one as a duet. The song, "Thanks
To You", is filled with the fun and joy of a true friendship,
and even adds a little behind-the-scenes humor as Gospel Music
Association Dove Award winning producer, Monroe Jones (Chris Rice,
Third Day) kept some of the original studio fun in the mix. Moore
and Chapman met in the early 80's when Moore sang on a demo for
one of Chapman's new songs. Chapman liked Moore's voice and Moore
liked Chapman's songwriting. The friendship grew. Chapman has
recorded several songs co-written with Moore as well, including
the No.1 songs "Speechless," and "The Great Adventure",
which brought the songwriting duo the 1993 Dove Award for Song
of the Year.
