from Mr. Dwight Moreland

Dear Austrian Jazz Award Committee,

We are Moreland, a soul, jazz, funk, gospel, and RnB band dedicated to creating a dynamic fusion of groove, energy, and soul. Our lead singer, Dwight Moreland Jr., originally from Atlanta, Georgia (USA), brings the rich musical tradition of the American South into our sound, which he has been developing with us in Innsbruck for the past eight years. Together, we blend soulful melodies with jazz and funk rhythms, creating a unique and vibrant style that has resonated with audiences across Europe.

Our journey has taken us to prestigious stages such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazzfestival Saalfelden, Poolbar Festival in Feldkirch, as well as sold-out performances in Barcelona’s Jamboree Jazz Club and in clubs in London. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of our music and making a lasting impact on the jazz and soul scene.

We would be honored to be considered for the Austrian Jazz Award, as it would be a tremendous recognition of our work and an exciting step forward in our artistic journey.

devils eyes

our new music video

Devil’s Eyes“ a fiery anthem of temptation and seduction. With sultry melodies and lyrics that ignite desire, the song is a bold exploration of love’s forbidden edges. It dares to dance on the fine line between passion and recklessness, where the allure of „devil’s eyes“ promises ecstasy and peril. Moreland’s entrancing vocals draw listeners into a world where temptation reigns supreme, and surrender to desire is the ultimate victory.
