ARRINGTON, TN, February 20, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stephen Fowler Moore has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Leveraging more than 40 years of professional experience, Mr. Moore is a recognized name in the touring, production, marketing and concert promotion industry. Raised in the quaint blue-collar town of Buna, Texas, he initially graduated from Lamar University with a bachelor's degree in marketing communications and music before commencing his career. Mr. Moore first worked for ZZ Top's management company in Houston and began promoting concerts with legendary musicians Stevie Ray Vaughn and George Strait. In 1984, he joined Pace Concerts and continued promoting concerts across the Southwestern United States until relocating to Nashville in 1986 to manage and operate the Starwood Amphitheater, a 17,500 capacity outdoor music venue in Antioch, Tennessee.

Since 1992, Mr. Moore has thrived as the founder of Moore Entertainment Group, an independent business through which he promotes prestigious country music artists throughout the United States and Canada. Notably, he has worked alongside prominent country artists such as Billy Ray Cyrus, Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Brooks and Dunn, and Kenny Chesney, as well as the Dixie Chicks, BB King, Rascal Flatts, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd. Concurrently, Mr. Moore is a consultant to the Gaither Music Group and Primary Wave Entertainment in New York, where he represents numerous artists and music catalogs in Nashville, and has served as the executive producer on various gospel and jazz projects with Sun Label Music Group. Mr. Moore also helped to establish the C2C (Country 2 Country) Music Festival in Europe.

In recognition of his profound success in music promotion, Mr. Moore has been bestowed with several honors. Named Promoter of the Year by the Country Music Association, he also earned the SRO Promoter of the Year Award, the Dr. Raul Ornelas Lifetime Music Achievement Award, and the Distinguished Alumni Award from Lamar University. Impressively, he was also named to Billboard Power 100 Executives and was a finalist for Most Admired CEOs by the Nashville Business Journal, among other recognitions.

In addition to his work in music, Mr. Moore serves as the chairman and founder of The Shalom Foundation in Franklin, Tennessee, which currently owns and operates the Moore Pediatric Surgery Center in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Having served with numerous humanitarian and medical mission trips to Guatemala since 1998, he developed a deep interest in helping children in impoverished areas, sponsoring their education and spearheading the construction of a school. To this end, the Moore Pediatric Surgery Center provides critical surgery and medical care for under-resourced children throughout Guatemala. Recently reaching the milestone of serving over 11,000 children at the conclusion of 2025, the surgery center will soon celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2026.

As a testament to his success and philanthropic impact, Mr. Moore received the Peace Ambassador Award from the president and first lady of Guatemala in 2017. More recently, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in organizational leadership from the Universidad San Pablo de Guatemala, honoring his leadership and transformative work for children lacking access to health care services. The doctorate will be conferred on him in May 2026 during the Solemn Graduation Ceremony.

Beyond his primary endeavors, as a serial entrepreneur and active investor, Mr. Moore co-owns Reach, an entertainment, marketing and activation firm that also offers real estate development and restaurant projects throughout Nashville. Earlier in his career, he was a founding board member and investor in Avenue Bank in 2007, and he served as the chief executive officer of the Country Music Association from 2010 to 2013. Currently, Mr. Moore is a valued member of the Country Music Association, the Gospel Music Association, and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Looking ahead, Mr. Moore aims to provide extensive support and medical services to children in the highlands of Guatemala – particularly those in Mayan communities – who are unable to travel to receive health care. His vision is to establish mobile medical clinics staffed by professionals who can travel to rural areas and deliver leading care to patients. He credits much of his success to his faith in Jesus Christ.

Mr. Moore is a long-time member and deacon of the Brentwood Baptist Church in Brentwood, Tennessee. He and his wife of 47 years, Charmione, have three grown sons, Remick, Sterling and Hunter, and three grandchildren, Ever, who is 10, Atlas, who is 8 and Mason, who is 5.
