Alastair Moock has been playing music in the Philly area since 1995, with a specialty of family music added after the birth of his twins in 2006. He was first place in the 2020 Songs for Social Change, a project of RAWA, with his song Be A Pain. He helped found Family Music Forward in 2020, to transform family music by supporting Black artists, children, and communities and dismantling individual, institutional, and systemic racial bias within the industry, and he does a podcast/interview series, Opening Doors, with artists of color. His music has tinges of John Prine & Arlo Guthrie, with a combination of humor & insight that makes for fun & transformation.
