Andrew Moore

Formed in 2022, Andrew Moore and Hooch is a dynamic bluesy band with an Americana twist that captivates audiences with their high-energy performances and soulful, gritty sound. Led by singer and pianist Andrew Moore, the band has been making waves in the music scene with their infectious blend of Blues, Country, Rock, Soul, and Songwriting prowess. Andrew Moore's heartfelt lyrics, impassioned vocals, and electrifying piano work, combined with the tight rhythms and soulful grooves laid down by the rest of the band, create a musical experience that is both powerful and deeply engaging. Their music draws from the rich tradition of writing their own music and lyrics in the style of country and blues while infusing it with a modern edge, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. 

Andrew started singing and playing in 2015 to fill an entertainment void in a family-run speakeasy in the Adirondack Mountains. It was there that he formed the first version of his band, "Hooch," named for the speakeasy vibe. Back home in Kentucky by 2019, Andrew found solo gigs all around the region and continued to play shows, forming a relationship with Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse after a successful audition. 

Eventually, Andrew met bassist Logan Turner at a jam session in Richmond, Kentucky. Logan and Andrew continued to keep their eyes open; that is when Logan heard a young Gabe Crockett playing a guitar at a music store. Facebook recommendations led to the discovery of saxophoneist Jordan Robson and drummer Matthew Skaggs. Andrew Moore and Hooch can be found several times each week at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Lexington, Kentucky, and Cincinnati.
