Beefheart and McQuinn
Beefheart & McQuinn is the new project from UK artist Moby Beefheart aka William Murray (formerly of UK outfit Fur) and Melbourne / Naarm musician Winter McQuinn (Sunfruits, jade imagine). Coming together after a chanced coffee meetup, the musical connection between the two artists is palpable. Sharing a love for the folk and rock sounds of yesteryear without pastiche obsession, Beefheart & McQuinn make contemporary psychedelic folk / soft rock, a rich sonic tapestry of vocal harmony blends and deft musicianship / production. Their first offering ‘Hand In Hand’ is a song about the effect of a busy working life in a new place coupled with the feeling of isolation and anxiety that goes with that. Following the release of ‘Hand In Hand’ which was described as “perfectly emulating the kind of sun-soaked Canyon comedowns that ease the mind into Sunday mornings.”, the duo has supported acts including Leah Senior, Snowy and JB Patterson and are touring the UK in May 2026 with performances at Alt Escape in support of their debut album ‘Midtown Downtime’ out May 7 via Rainflower.
