Their new music video for the song, Midnight Drive, has received six awards from Film festivals, including Best Music Video, Oregon Independent Film Festival, 2023.

Richard Moore has been playing music since "The Wombats" in high school. Traveled through Europe and Thailand in the '70's in a rock and roll band.

Settled down in Portland in the '80's and built a recording studio...Tag Team Audio...where he engineered commercial audio projects for 40 years.

He was the voice of Pacific Power on their commercials...and still is if you get put on hold.

Richard came back to music midlife, and performed regularly with his old friend Cal Scott at O'Connors in Multnomah Village where they hosted a local songwriter round for 12 years.

He’s been writing songs his whole life and just finished producing his 5th and...final..? CD of original tunes....FLOW.

He could be the best songwriter you’ve never heard of.
