Kip Moore with Michael Ray and Joey Hyde

Called the missing link between blue-collar rock and country music by Music Row magazine, and the “hillbilly Springsteen” by Billboard Country…Singer-songwriter Kip Moore is quickly drawing a large and enthusiastic fan base, in part due to his energetic live shows.

Moore grew up listening to Jackson Browne, Willie Nelson, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen, all of whom were obvious influences on the lyrical style he would bring to his everyman version of country later in his own career. Moore isn’t flashy, but the subtle frame he creates for his blue-collar portraits make the images seem that much more real. It also suggests he’s confident in his songs and his performance.

He explored his own experiences of growing up in a small Georgia town and working diligently for years to achieve his musical dreams to create his MCA Nashville debut album, Up All Night, released in 2012, the album was the bestselling debut by a male in 2012 and 2013. The album poetically captures those unforgettable coming-of-age moments, especially for those longing for a life beyond a small town’s borders, as well as the roller coaster of love and heartbreak at any age. He delivers these honest and deeply personal lyrics with a gravelly voice weathered by life’s detours and disappointments and strengthened by his dreams and unyielding determination.

Fans eagerly await his second Album, Wild Ones which is set to be released August of 2015, while Kip “ hits the road” in support of this new album bringing his live show to venues across the country.
