SHOWS:
Two Scoops Combo serves up a unique blend of rollicking boogie-woogie humor and heart-felt blues. Eric ?Two Scoops? Moore stirs fun into his audience with the touch of a master chef. His legendary ability to transport listeners to 1930's Kansas City, 1940's Chicago or 1950's New Orleans in a flash has been documented in countless fan testimonials. In a typical show, Two Scoops breathes new life into familiar favorites and delivers generous portions of crowd-pleasing hits from his own records.
BACKGROUND:
Eric ?Two Scoops? Moore toured and recorded with the late Chicago blues harpmaster, ?Earring? George Mayweather (7 years) and the great Muddy Waters guitarist, Grammy and Handy award winner, Luther ?Guitar Jr.?Johnson (6 years). Two Scoops has performed his brand of boogie magic at premier blues venues and festivals in 36 states, 12 countries on three continents. He sold his records to fans all over the world, but one special fan in Seattle stole his heart??Amy!

The House of Blues in Cambridge MA hosted its first ever wedding/blues jam for Two Scoops and Amy on Valentine's Day 1996. The occasion was also a celebration of Moore's miraculous recovery from a nearly fatal bout with flesh-eating bacteria and a release party for his first CD, Big Buffet. Over 13 years later, the disc still receives frequent airplay.

Since 1996, Two Scoops has been based in West Seattle, playing gigs as a solo pianist/vocalist, duo with sax, trio with drums, or quartet with upright bass. Venues include cruise ships, nightclubs, parks, retirement homes, food courts, festivals, radio & TV stations, zoos, Tuscan hill town piazzas, castles, classic car & motorcycle rallies, corporate events, wedding receptions, birthday parties and art gallery openings. No matter where Two Scoops plays, BIG FUN is in store for all!
