Edit history

The music of Anglo-Australian alt.country artists - Dawn Moore and Brian Heywood - has a catchy, contemporary sound which combines the story telling of country music with the power of edgy roots rock instrumentation. The band line-up gives a powerful alt country rock sound led by Brian’s edgy electric guitar. The Heywood & Moore Band have been making quite a splash over the last couple of years with three singles in the Top 40 Australian Country Tracks chart - Turn the key, Walkin’ after midnight and Headin’ Home (for Christmas) - and a well received self produced album (Goodbye Yesterday) and a number of original single releases under their belts. They were also nominated for a prestigious ICMA award (“Most popular independent duo”) and received an Akademia Award for ‘Best Americana Song’ for the title track of their album. Their recent 'Loaded Dog' single was given 4 stars by TRIPLE J's Nkeche Anele and described as "Adorable" as well as being shortlisted for an International song writing award.
