Moore & Moore

     The best performances come from people who work well together. That would be a major understatement for twin sisters Debbie and Carrie Moore. Having sung together all of their lives, there is something really special about the close knit harmony they create. Adept at working with an audience and making them part of their performance, Moore & Moore give the all out kind of show that only comes from the heart.

     Debbie and Carrie hail originally from Belton, Missouri. It was easy to see that these two were destined for musical careers. As young girls, they were shy performers, resulting in hiding behind the family couch when relatives tried to coax them to perform.  To see them on stage today, you would never guess that they would ever do anything else. They grew up listening to old records and would memorize all the words.  By the time they were teenagers, they were performing in their church choir, at weddings, talent shows and in numerous school groups.  They wrote their high school graduation song and were voted "Most Talented" by their senior class. "We sang our senior class song at the Kansas City Music Hall for graduation. After hearing the applause and seeing how we could touch people through our music, we knew from that moment on....

we were put on this earth to sing!"

After playing clubs all over the United States and Canada, Debbie and Carrie made the move to Nashville, Tennessee. "We were told that a lot of people go back home after giving Nashville only a few months. We had been living in an apartment about that long when a light bulb went out in the ceiling. When we had to stack suitcases to change it, we knew it was time to bring down the furniture and become Nashvillians."

     It was a good move for Moore & Moore. In 1991, they released their first single, "Out With The Old" which stayed at #1 for seven weeks on the Independent Charts. This is still the longest running #1 debut single in Independent Chart history. The accompanying debut video won Video Challenge five nights in a row on The Nashville Network's Video PM. There have been four Number One singles since that release: "Steal Me A Heart", "Don't Come Knocking", "Break Down the Walls" and "I Surrender".

     From 1991 to present, Moore and Moore have received several awards and nominations from Indie Bullet, Airplay International, TNN/Music City News Awards, BMI, NSAI, and NATD.  Their success has prompted appearances on WTBS's Roots of Country with Robert Oermann, The Sally Jessy Raphael Show, and TNN's Nashville Now, Video Morning, Video PM, Country Beat, Miller and Company, Music City Tonight, Club Dance, Wildhorse Saloon Show, TNN Country News, The Statler Brothers Show, and Prime Time Country.    

     In 1994 they were asked to go on tour as the opening act for the legendary Statler Brothers.  In 1995, they were honored to make their first appearance on the world famous Grand Ole Opry.  Moore & Moore toured with Jerry Springer in 1995 and were featured on his country album, "Dr. Talk".  In 1996, they performed in Korea and Japan for the military and received the Award for International Duo of the Year.  In 1997 they toured Europe with the Bellamy Brothers and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.  In 1999, they toured Australia and Europe.  Debbie Moore co-wrote the song "Wish You Were Here" with Bill Anderson and Skip Ewing recorded by Mark Wills on Mercury Records.  It went to #1 on the Billboard, R&R, and Gavin Charts in April 1999. 

     Today, Moore & Moore continue to tour all over the world (with their most recent tour of Denmark in 2006) and have received numerous awards, including Country Duo Of The Year and International Entertainer Of The Year.  They have worked with the Gatlin Brothers, Alabama, Marty Stuart, Little Jimmy Dickens, The Oak Ridge Boys, Smokey Robinson, Mark Chesnutt, Kenny Chesney, Jim Ed Brown, The Temptations, Sam Moore, Tom T. Hall, Doug Kershaw, Donny Osmond, Michael Peterson, Mel Tillis, Ricky Van Shelton, Holly Dunn, Porter Wagoner, Confederate Railroad, Chad Brock, Clay Walker, Billy Ray Cyrus, Bryan White, Ricochet, Perfect Stranger, Ty Herndon and many others.

     Moore & Moore's previous album, "Million Roses" (with special guests, Bill Anderson, Shawn Camp, the Jordanaires and Jerry Reed) received rave reviews and an Airplay Gold Record "for Radio Report Points and Overall Industry Acceptance".

     Moore & Moore's newest album, "Meant To Be" (with special guests, Jan Howard & Jeannie Seely, George "Goober" Lindsey, Pirates Of The Mississippi and Johnny Rodriguez) has been nominated for the 2007 Country Album Of The Year by the Independent Music Awards!  Moore & Moore's new music video, "Find Me A Man Like Goober", featuring George "Goober" Lindsey and cameos of 17 legendary country artists, will be released in April 2007!   

     With a career that is definitely on the move, great things are most certainly around the corner. The musical blend of voices that were born to sing together, the sense of humor that only a sibling could get away, complimented by the best in upbeat country songs make for a really great show.

With Moore & Moore, you really want more and more!
