Nashville, TN – Aug 17, 2015 – MULTI PLATINUM singer/songwriter Kip Moore is bringing his sophomore album WILD ONES to life in a series of music videos debuting exclusively on CMT and VEVO  as the Fri., Aug. 21 street date approaches.  The series kicks off with the album’s fierce title track today on VEVO and available to watch now here.  The video for fan-favorite track “Backseat” will premiere tomorrow (8/18) on VEVO and then CMT will jump in to premiere “Comeback Kid” (8/19), “Girl of Summer” (8/20) and “Lipstick” (8/21) each day for the rest of the week.  Fans can preorder WILD ONES here.

“We had some fun with my fans this weekend, giving them a little teaser of what to expect from the videos, and they freaked,” said Kip Moore. “The videos were a great way for me to express some of my favorite songs off the album, and each one is so unique from the other, that I feel like they really encapsulate the different layers of this record.”

With Rolling Stone commending WILD ONES’ “unique blend of heartland rock and blue-collar twang” ahead of its release on Aug. 21, Moore’s sophomore album captures the feeling of his live show, ranging from poignant to anthemic. Often heralded for his live show, with Chicago Sun Times recognizing Moore as “carving his own niche in country music…that sets him apart from the flock of country music rockers,” Moore recently announced his headlining 2015 WILD ONES TOUR kicking off 10/8 in Bethlehem, PA.

Nashville, TN – July 2, 2015 – MULTI-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Kip Moore is set to perform a special concert for fans on Sunday, July 5 at Daytona International Speedway as part of the 57th Annual Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Cola NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.  Moore will perform his current chart climbing single, “I’m To Blame” live on NBCSN as part of the pre-race festivities.

Currently making stops across the country with Dierks Bentley’s 2015 Sounds Of Summer Tour and hitting some of the country’s biggest summer festivals along the way, Moore continues to make an impression on critics with Milwaukee Journal Sentinel calling out “with drinks hoisted and most of the songs loudly sung along by the fans on the bleachers, this was a party at the core” and Village Voice deeming him “the definition of laid-back country cool.”

Moore’s sophomore album, WILD ONES, is set to be released on Aug. 21.  A super-sized record inspired by the grit, grind and glamour of the live shows, each track on WILD ONES was written by Moore and follows his debut album, UP ALL NIGHT, which spawned three No. One multi-platinum selling smash hits.  His current single “I’m To Blame,” is steadily climbing the charts and was the second most added song during its debut week at country radio, marking Moore’s biggest first week for a new single.

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. The holiday is commonly associated with fireworks displays, parades, barbecues and concerts. Some of your favorite country stars take time to remember their Fourth of July traditions, memories and what the holiday really means to them.

Dierks Bentley should keep one eye open on his Sounds of Summer Tour, because his tourmates Kip Moore and Canaan Smith have some ideas of how to prank him.

Kip has already retaliated, after Dierks forced them into his annual polar jump in January, by spraying graffiti on his beloved Big White truck and putting a goat in the bed of the vehicle. So, he’s kind of laying low for the time being. However, he does warn Dierks, he will come after him if he tries to pull something else. “If he slips up and gets me, I’m just gonna one-up him, so the best thing he can do is just let the whole thing go.”

Canaan, though, is deviously planning on something to get Dierks back. “. I have ideas, ideas churning in my head. But as an example of a recent prank, I got my band on April Fool’s Day. I told them I wanted to start this tradition right before we would go on stage, let’s eat a lucky Oreo,” says Canaan. “I snuck out to the bus, and I replaced all the cream in the Oreos with toothpaste, with minty white toothpaste, and strategically replaced them perfectly back in the package, so that they would just have no clue what was about to hit them.”

The next stop on the Sounds of Summer Tour is June 18th in Maryland Heights, Missouri.

Dierks Bentley was named People’s Hottest Country Guy in the new issue of the magazine, right before he kicks off his Sounds of Summer Tour.

Dierks was also named an honorary co-chairman of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Foundation’s Hat in the Ring Society.

Little Big Town’s “Day Drinking” is featured in a new commercial for Twisted Tea — Hard Iced Tea.

Kip Moore is among the artists taking part in the annual Music City Gives Back concert Tuesday (June 9th) on Nashville’s Lower Broadway. The event, which also features Rodney Atkins, Tyler Farr, Lee Brice and Maddie & Tae, will help raise money for the W.O. Smith Music School.

Brothers Osborne will perform at the Gratifonia Music Festival in Hughesville, Pennsylvania September 6th.

Kip Moore is about to head out on the road on the Sounds of Summer Tour with Dierks Bentley, Canaan Smith and Maddie & Tae. As the title may indicate, they’re going to be playing mostly outdoor amphitheaters, where temperatures will certainly soar throughout the day.

Kip says there’s really not a way to keep cool during those amphitheater shows. “I don’t know if there’s anything you can [do], I know that everybody’s gonna say, ‘Aw, take a drink,’ or whatever. There’s no possible way in those sheds when that sun is beating down that there’s any way to stay cool,” he says. “It’s all about just laying it all out. You got time to cool out after. But while you’re on, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Kip is making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “I’m to Blame,” which is from his forthcoming album, Wild Ones, which is set for release August 21st.

Nashville, TN – June 3, 2015 – MULTI-PLATINUM artist Kip Moore announced plans for his “Comeback Kid Skatepark Project,” a charitable initiative that will oversee the construction of a series of skateparks to benefit communities and “comeback kids.”  At a press conference today, Moore along with Mayor Karl Dean and Salemtown Board Co, revealed the phase one cities of the project including Nashville, TN; Boston, MA; San Marcos, TX; and Annapolis, MD.  The inspiration for the name of the project comes from “Comeback Kid,” a personal anthem from Moore’s upcoming album WILD ONES.

“What started off as a pipe dream of mine years ago, has truly become a passion project,” said Moore. “It came from me wanting to give kids in inner cities a safe outlet, where they can form the bonds I know can be made from having somewhere awesome to go and be a part of something they enjoy. I wrote the song ‘Comeback Kid’ at a time when I felt like a comeback kid, but now when I sing it I think less about myself and more about the kids we are doing this for and how much I admire and respect them.  We’re starting with these four cities, but the plan is to keep growing this as far and wide as we can.”

Each park will have a unique design to provide the perfect first step for anyone of any age to learn how to skate. Making the most of the size and space available, most skate spots will range from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet and will include elements such as quarter pipe, bank-to-curb, hubba ledges, hand rail and step up.  Most of the phase one skateparks will be up and running by this Fall.

The “Comback Kid Skatepark Project” is the first initiative of “Kip’s Kids Fund,” a donor-advised fund through The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT) focused on youth and teens.  As an avid rock climber, surfer, skateboarder and outdoor enthusiast, Moore has been drawn to the outdoors and alternative sports for much of his life.  He also has a heart for small town and inner city kids growing up with too few options.  As a result, the “Kip’s Kid Fund” provides alternative outlets for youth to engage in healthy habits and physical activities like skateboarding, in addition to the traditional sports offerings where they live.

Kip Moore‘s highly anticipated sophomore album on MCA Nashville, WILD ONES, is set for release August 21st. Fans can pre-order the album with an exclusive merch package here.

“WILD ONES really encompasses everything I’ve been through out on the road since the first album, it embodies us as a band every night out on stage, it alludes to the traveling circus it sometimes feels like we are a part of,” said Moore. “I’m so glad that I’m able to finally let the fans know when to expect what we’ve been working on so passionately for the past couple years, to let them know the wait is nearly over.”

Each song on the 13-track disc was born on the road during soundchecks, inside backstage dressing rooms and in Moore’s bunk at night, and recorded during “time off” from playing more than 200 shows a year.

Driven forward by electric guitars and gang vocals, “Lipstick” is the album’s most heartfelt tribute to the road, with each verse rattling off a list of the favorite cities Moore and his bandmates have played in the past. Other songs, like “That Was Us,” take a look backward, sketching a picture of the archetypal small-town Saturday nights that filled Moore’s teenage years in Georgia. “Magic,” anchored by one of the anthemic, open-armed choruses of Moore’s career, is loud and lovely, and “Comeback Kid” packs its punch the opposite way: by dialing back the volume and delivering quiet praise to the underdog in all of us.  The new album also features the playful lead single, “I’m To Blame,” which is climbing the country radio charts now.

“I’m truly hoping that people just simply love the project that I’ve worked so hard on,” says a heartfelt Kip. “I hope that people take the time to actually listen to this record as a whole, as a whole body of work and appreciate what we’ve done as a band, and I hope that it puts us to the next level.”
