The Hoedown Band - Barn Dance / Ceilidh Band - Newcastle, New South Wales Event Location: Dudley Community Hall, Newcastle, NSW Event Type: Birthday Party 17th September 2022
The Hoedown Band were quite simply awesome!! We had a triple 50th Birthday at the local hall. From the beginning of the booking process the communication and contact was excellent. They arrived at the agreed time to set up and sound check and discuss our hopes for the night. We had 146 people who all had the best night ever so they say, thanks in no small part to Dawn and the band. The musicianship was excellent and Dawn’s calls were clear and easy to follow and she was roving around and leading each group until we got it and went full steam ahead with the band ripping into it. I cannot recommend this band enough. They exceeded our expectations and once again made our party what it was. Thank you guys and girls!

The Hoedown Band - Barn Dance / Ceilidh Band - Newcastle, New South Wales Event Location: C.eX, Coffs Harbour, NSW Event Type: Christmas Party 30th November 2019
We hired the hoedown band for our Xmas party and they were fantastic. They were very professional, neatly presented and they sounded great on the night. We were a small crowd but their lead singer Dawn was very interactive and educational with her dance moves. The band knew their instruments and songs very well and i would certainly recommend them to people that enjoy the country style of entertainment.

Goodbye Yesterday - Heywood & Moore with the Hoedown Band

The sound of Anglo-Australian country artists - Dawn Moore and Brian Heywood - combines the storytelling of traditional country and the power of edgy roots rock instrumentation - a sound that is a tight amalgam of raunchy guitar driven roots music and rich vocal harmonies that bridges the gap between country and rock. The duo's songwriting and performances also bring a fresh approach to the 'Country Scene' which appeals to a wider audience. The album features the members of their regular backing band (Hoedown Band) along with guest players from the UK and Australia.
