Moot Davis

Moot Davis fuses classic country influences with a contemporary edge, threading rock & roll elements through his Americana without remaining tethered to convention. That mix of eras drew interest from film and television music supervisors, resulting in placements in the Academy Award-winning 2004 film Crash, the 2006 horror remake The Hills Have Eyes, and a 2010 episode of Supernatural, yet it was the consistent run of albums he issued from 2004 through the 2010s that cultivated his devoted audience.

Davis, raised in Trenton, New Jersey, began performing professionally near the start of the 2000s. He first set out for New York before relocating to Nashville in 2001. Twelve months later he traveled to Los Angeles to cut an album alongside Pete Anderson. His self-titled debut appeared on Anderson’s Little Dog Records in 2004, the same year “Whiskey Town” landed in Paul Haggis’ Oscar-winning Crash.

His follow-up, the Nashville-recorded Already Moved On, surfaced in 2007. In 2012 he moved to his own Highway Kind imprint for Man About Town. Burnside handled 2014’s Goin’ in Hot. Hierarchy of Crows, his fifth album, arrived in 2017.
