How much fun can you have with your boots on?

Get ready to kick up your heels and dance the night away with The Hoedown Band! Hailing from Newcastle, NSW, the band brings an electrifying mix of original and classic country rock that will have festival-goers of all ages on their feet. With decades of experience and a high-energy performance style, they are the ultimate crowd-pleasers.

The band has been successfully performing at festivals, concerts, parties, corporate events, country music clubs, school events, on TV specials etc. for many years, both here in Australia and in Europe, and have even appeared on the reality TV show "The Only Way Is Essex" (TOWIE season 21 episode 5)!

The band is built around the skills of Dawn Moore and Brian Heywood. Brian has a formidable array of skills and experience. A guitarist, vocalist, bandleader, arranger, composer, producer and award winning song writer - he is just as at home on a big festival stage in outback Australia as in an indie live music club in the heart of London. Specialising in edgy roots music, his previous work has received "Just when it seemed as if newer electric British roots bands were getting thinner on the ground ... Very welcome and very good" (fROOTS Magazine, UK).

Dawn was bought up in West Midlands wearing a Stetson and a fringed buckskin jacket. As well as being a vocalist in a number of successful bands and is also an accomplished actor and has many theatre credits to her name as well as appearing in film and on TV shows such as The Bill, The Legacy of Reginald Perrin, Brittas Empire, Crossing the Floor and many others.
