Denise Moser

Denise’s songs shine a mindful light on the everyday things of our lives, reflecting on their deeper meanings. Her voice is direct, honest, lovely, and she leaves you feeling like you’ve found a new friend. Songs from Her first CD were played on over eighty radio stations, and two from her new CD, Here Right Now, have been recently played on WXPN. Denise’s intention as a songwriter is to tell the unflinching truth (but not always the facts) and to touch people’s kindred places. She was thrilled to be chosen three times to participate in an intimate, intense and life-changing songwriting workshop facilitated by Rosanne Cash. Denise has also created a following with her blog that often includes flash fiction, fly on the wall portraits of moments. www.denisemosermusic.com
