Hailed as the greatest unknown genius of modern times, on a par with Brian Wilson or The Beatles - the legendary R. Stevie Moore has influenced a generation of musicians including artists Albert Hammond Jr (The Strokes), Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Mac DeMarco and many others. "Cool Daddio: The Second Youth of R. Stevie Moore" is a tragi-comic musical odyssey to discover underground music icon R. Stevie Moore, a man who recorded over 400 albums.... in his bedroom. Now in his 60s, R. Stevie Moore is finally receiving worldwide recognition and growing cult following. As he embarks on his first global tour.
R. Stevie Moore is a fragile, funny, often self-destructive genius tormented by the shadow of his abusive and overbearing father, Bob Moore - a successful session bassist who played with legends of the music scene including Elvis Presley.
