Kip Moore's career in music didn't always seem as destined as other artists. He worked as a store manager for Abercrombie & Fitch for four years whilst quietly working on his own music and sound before he obtained a record deal with MCA Nashville. However after this initial struggle, the country star continued to score success on the US Country Charts. 'Mary Was the Marrying Kind' was his first appearance at #45 and this was seen as testing the waters as the follow-up 'Something' 'Bout a Truck' topped the chart upon its release in September 2011.
His debut album 'Up All Night' was released in April 2012 and peaked at #3 on the Country chart and #6 on the US Billboard. It has sold over 300,000 copies thanks to hit singles such as 'Beer Money' and 'Hey Pretty Girl'. He was awarded with three nominations in 2012 from the American Country Awards including New Artist of the Year, Single by a New Artist and Video by a New Artist.
Kip is currently working on a follow-up album to his successful debut. He has released two preceding singles to date, the first entitled 'Young Love' peaked on the Country chart at #26 whilst 'Dirt Road' reached #35. The album is currently untitled but is expected in 2015.
Kip Moore is awesome to see live. He has just as much fun performing his country music as the audience does hearing it. I enjoyed him singing “Reckless.” It was so upbeat it made me want to strut my stuff! His raspy voice fits in with the rebellious content of the song and it just works. Kip's smile is just gorgeous and he was doing it the whole, I could look at that face all day. His good looks definitely don't hurt or take away from the music they are a huge plus. I went with my mother and we had a great time. We sat back and had a couple of beers, which just go great at this type of concert.
Kip engaged the crowd and everyone seemed really into it. We could have some rowdy fun and not have to worry about crazies like some of the rock concerts that I've been to before. People are always down on him because he sings a lot about beer, trucks, and girls but it's his lax subjects and raw talent that allow for his concerts to be such a good time. You won't go in expecting some deep emotional experience but you will have lots of dancing, clapping hands, and your face will be hurting from smiling by the end of it. My only complaint is that he does spend a lot of time at the microphone, it would be nice to see him move around some more!
