He has performed over 3000 concerts and released thirteen full-length CDs of primarily original music, touring in all of the fiy states, as well as five of the seven continents.

LaMotte has appeared as a featured performer at the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Doc and Merle Watson Festival, the National Folk Festival of Australia, and the Auckland Folk Festival in New Zealand, among many others.
