Just think bush dance meets barn dance meets rockin' country music! So 'come on down' for just the best party ever with a unique combination of classic country rock songs as well as playing hoedown / barn /  bush dances with a spicy menu of rocky traditional and country style music to get your feet tapping along with a bunch of sing-a-long classics.

The song set covers a wide range of material from classics like Jambalaya and Folsom Prison Blues, through the country rock from the Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival to new country from the likes of the Dixie Chicks, Keith Urban, Alan Jackson and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

 And the dancing is a whole load of fun for all ages! Even if the guests have never done this kind of dancing before. Our caller and lead singer, Dawn, organises the guests, encouraging them to participate, and then guides the dancers from the floor. Barn / bush / hoedown dances easy to learn - exhilarating and addictive!  

With decades of experience of providing exciting entertainment for a huge range of corporate & private functions - you're guaranteed to have a great time.

Just read what our clients say about our show...

"The Hoedown Band were quite simply awesome!! We had a triple 50th Birthday at the local hall ... 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!" - Dave Dudley NSW.

"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 [caller] 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." - Lindsay Bawrunga Medical Service, Coffs Harbour, NSW.

"I just wanted to send you a big THANK YOU for the wonderful job you did at my party on Saturday. I have had so many fabulous comments about you and the band. You did a great job of getting the crowd going and I was surprised to see certain people on the dance floor, namely my husband! I think I suitably embarrassed him with my song, thanks for the supporting singing and putting up with my odd requests." - Cathy Copp (50th birthday)

"The band were perfect for our large party of friends and family, ranging across several generations. Dawn and the boys know exactly how to get everyone up on the floor for both line and barn dancing. What a wonderful caller! She paced the evening perfectly and the enthusiastic musicianship of the band enhanced the feel good factor. We all had a ball, and we have been deluged with emails from all participants saying it was one of the best parties they had attended for many a long year." - Dave and Nell

"You were just brilliant brilliant brilliant." - Michelle (Noverton Barn Dance)

"Just wanted to say thank you sooooo much for playing at our wedding - you were absolutely AMAZING!! Everyone has not stopped talking about how much they loved you and the line dancing went down better than we could have dreamed of!!!" - Tessa & Jeff (bride & groom)
