Red has toured as a member of C2 & The Brothers Reed, Edgar Red, Kentucky Ruckus, Dusty Bo & The Contraband, and Matt Red Moore (band). Red plays 200+ shows a year spanning major music festivals in full-band form to solo acoustic gigs at Kentuckiana clubs.
​
Matt Red Moore's rock music is characterized by emotional southern guitar riffing, a pounding rhythm section, and a grungy high vocal range, while his acoustic music is more lyrically driven and folky.

Red's live shows are a high-energy party spotted with light humor and gut-punching ballads. Audiences become quickly connected to him to the point that they feel like they know him on a personal level. The music is delivered in an unrefined form at every show.

"Kicking [Roostertail Music Festival 2019] into high gear with loud, rowdy style was [Matt Red Moore]. This young band has a sound unique to today’s rock bands. Their sound is more of a throwback to the 90’s grunge rockers with a splash of classic 70’s rock. Complete with guitar riffs and Viking horns, [Matt Red Moore] brought high energy to get the crowd warmed up for a night full of great rock and country music."
-The Oklahoma Review (2019)
"Matt Red Moore travels a 'Hard Road'"
-Laura Shine, WFPK Louisville Public Media (2023)

"You don't find many songs that are so dedicated to rocking the f***ing house like [Matt Red Moore]'s "Carolina Lemonade". This is blues-based rock goodness to make the Led Zeppelin gods giggle in delight. This is music that needs muscle cars, strippers, beer, the American flag flying high, and an overflowing bucket of F*** You. [Red] can sing like a banshee, can rip a guitar into shreds, and will tear your heart into a million pieces with pure rock 'n roll majesty."
