Dennis Moss is a Seattle-based jazz musician. He performs regularly at private events, restaurants, lounges, wine bars and festivals. He has performed in venues such as McCaw Hall at Seattle Center, Soundbridge Music Discovery Center at Benaroya Hall, Legion Hall, VIRGINIA V Historic Ship and Manresa Castle. Dennis currently leads his own groups and performs as a soloist. He also teaches guitar privately, composes, arranges and presents jazz guitar clinics.

Dennis earned a Bachelor of Music from Cornish College of the Arts. As a Cornish student, he studied with notable jazz artists such as Dawn Clement, Chuck Deardorf, Julian Priester and Jovino Santos Neto. Dennis earned multiple talent-based scholarships and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

There are several unique aspects of Dennis' playing that set him apart. A fingerstylist, Dennis has a gorgeous tone and he plays the seven-string guitar. He has a strong harmonic sense and his voicings are unique among guitarists. His ability to take on multiple roles simultaneously (combining melody, harmony and basslines) suits him well for small ensemble and solo performances-his preferred formats. His music is great for both background ambiance and situations where the music is the main attraction.
