The 37 year-old guitarist Jack Moore, son of the late legendary Gary Moore released “In My Shoes”, single of his upcoming debut album which will be released in 2025. The song was co-written with the singer Quentin Kovalsky when both toured as a duo in Europe performing a tribute show to Gary Moore.

“‘In My Shoes’ was inspired by the relationships between parents and their sons, and how they guide you through life. It explores the themes of the values they imbue in us, and how we put them to practice in our own lives. We’re proud of how the song came out and we hope people enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
“I worked on the track with Quentin while we had been paying tribute to my father around Europe with shows. We discovered that we shared musical inspirations so doing our own original project was natural. I think it’s the start of an identity that we’re comfortable with going for.”
“The guitar and classic sound fit well with our style. I think my father would have loved this song. There’s a nod to Thin Lizzy’s unmistakable dual guitars in there too, and I think it’s very much up my father’s street in terms of style,” Jack Moore said.

Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland back in 1952, Gary Moore started his musical career in 1968, primarily as a guitarist and then also becoming a singer. He was part of many bands until he finally achieved fame as the guitar player for Thin Lizzy. He was a member of the Irish band from 1974 to 1977 and 1978 to 1979.
His first solo record was released in 1978 but it was with records like “Wild Frontier” (1987) and “Still Got The Blues” (1990) that he really went to another level of success, changing his style a little bit and becoming really a bluesman.
He sadly passed away too soon back in 2011 at the age of 58, victim of a heart attack.
