Kip Moore‘s UNDERGROUND EP is available today here. Critics have been quick to praise the five-track collection that Moore felt inspired to release for his loyal fans, with Sounds Likes Nashville highlighting that the EP “continues to showcase Moore’s songwriting chops.”  Leading up to the release, fans were able to preview songs including “My Kind” that Rolling Stone heralds as “a sturdy, defiant track that features Moore proudly aligning himself with normal, rough-around-the-edges folks,” as well as “All Time Low,” “an arena-ready anthem, Moore’s vocals and lyrics shine alongside a heavy bass beat” (Taste Of Country.)

Multiple tracks on UNDERGROUND were recorded live, and fans can experience the new songs as Moore continues his headlining ME AND MY KIND TOUR throughout the fall, this weekend playing a sold-out show in St. Paul, MN (10/28) and continuing on to Madison, WI (10/29.)

UNDERGROUND follows the release of Moore’s critically acclaimed sophomore album WILD ONES that The Guardian declared as “an impressively singular release from Music Row… unlike anything else in country music,” as well as his debut album UP ALL NIGHT which was certified GOLD by the RIAA and spawned three No. One hit singles including GOLD certified “Beer Money,” PLATINUM certified “Hey Pretty Girl,” and the DOUBLE PLATINUM breakout hit “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck.” A constant road warrior, Moore’s headlining ME AND MY KIND TOUR follows a characteristically relentless touring schedule, that kicked off at the beginning of the year with a sold-out tour in the US and Canada, a stint in Australia for the first time and headlining shows in The UK and Ireland that, due to demand, led to bigger venues being scheduled as well as closing out the run with a sold-out date in London, UK. Moore recently wrapped his summer stint being “met with more deafening applause” (CMT) out on the road with Miranda Lambert. For more information and a full list of tour dates, visit kipmoore.net.

Kip Moore announced today that he will release UNDERGROUND, a 5-track EP that draws inspiration from his unyielding time out on the road touring, and a personal response to the demand felt from his steadfast fans for new music.  Available starting October 28th, Kip co-wrote every track on the EP and audiences across the country will be able to experience the new tracks live this fall on his ME AND MY KIND TOUR. Fans can pre-order the EP, on which multiple tracks were recorded live, starting today here.

UNDERGROUND opens with Moore’s signature unapologetic, but confessional attitude in “All Time Low” which bleeds into the uptempo, yet muscular “My Kind.” Listeners are offered a taste of what they’re missing if they haven’t made it out to a show, with live performances of the anthemic “Midnight Slow Dance” and the reflective, but defiant “Separate Ways.” The EP culminates in the infectiously longing track “My Baby’s Gone,” showcasing Moore in his unfiltered element.

“The problem I often face is leaving behind some songs, because I never stop writing,” said Moore. “I write so many that some never see the light of day.  I’ve been working on a full record, which looks to be coming out in late spring, but everywhere we go the fans keep asking for the recordings of these underground songs that they’ve been hearing for the last few years.  They’re a passionate fan base so I decided to ask my label if I could record these songs live and give them the raw recordings.  These songs are completely separate from the new record I’ve been making, I simply made this EP for the true fans.”

Kip Moore is out on the road with Miranda Lambert and her Keeper of the Flame Tour, along with Brothers Osborne, and he’s pulling for TJ and John Osborne to make their mark in country music.

“Brothers Osborne is definitely one of my favorite new bands. There’s true musicianship in that band,” says Kip. “I’ve been a fan of theirs for quite a while, and I heard the record that’s out now long before it came out and I was just such a fan immediately. I’m definitely pulling for those guys to become big stars in the game.”

The next stop on the Keeper of the Flame Tour is Friday (August 19th) in Hartford, Connecticut, followed by a show on Sunday (August 21st) in Bangor, Maine.

Kip is making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “Running for You,” which is from his Wild Ones album.

Kip Moore is currently inside the Top 15 on the country charts with his latest hit, “Running for You,” which is featured on his Wild Ones album. Long before the song was released, he would receive a lot of positive attention when he launched into “Running for You.”

“Audience reaction to ‘Running for You’ has been pretty special for us for a while. I’ve always believed in the song, and I think what we’re seeing every night with the way the crowd is singing it back, it’s just bringing validation to what I’ve always believed with this song.”

Kip is currently out on the road with Miranda Lambert and Brothers Osborne on the Keeper of the Flame Tour, which runs through September 16th in Austin, Texas.

Kip Moore visited St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® last week in Memphis, TN and spent time with patients as they got creative with some arts activities.  The visit comes as Moore gears up to headline Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater next month, as part of “The Big 98’s Annual Guitar-B-Que Benefitting St. Jude.” Watch highlights from Moore’s visit here.

Moore recently revealed dates for his headlining ME AND MY KIND TOUR, which will see Moore visit cities across the US and Canada through early December and includes red-hot newcomer Jon Pardi. A constant road warrior that continues to be “met with more deafening applause” (CMT) Moore is currently on the road for Miranda Lambert’s Keeper Of The Flame Tour.  Hailed as a “career song” by Billboard, Moore’s current single “Running For You” continues to climb the charts and is taken from Moore’s critically acclaimed sophomore album WILD ONES, that Taste of Country deems is “tailored for his live show and the thousands of die-hard fans that pack theaters several times each week to see him,” and Huffington Post declares as “one heck of an album… set to produce hit after hit after hit.” WILD ONES follows Moore’s debut album UP ALL NIGHT which was certified GOLD by the RIAA and spawned three No. One hit singles including GOLD certified “Beer Money,” PLATINUM certified “Hey Pretty Girl,” and the DOUBLE PLATINUM breakout hit “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck.”
