ERIC CHURCH AND KIP MOORE SHOW UP AT JUSTIN MOORE’S AFTER-PARTY SHOW.

ERIC CHURCH AND KIP MOORE SHOW UP AT JUSTIN MOORE’S AFTER-PARTY SHOW.

Country music singer Justin Moore was in San Jose with the Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour last week and decided to make up for a long-ago postponed show at the Rodeo Club in San Jose, according to MercuryNews.com.

He played an acoustic set after the Nov. 9 HP Pavilion show for about 1,000 grateful fans and raised $6,300 for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Moore’s buddies Kip Moore and Eric Church also showed up and made it a real night to remember.

Justin Moore played for an hour and Kip Moore got up during the set to play “Something About a Truck.” Church, who had just planned on hanging out, ended up getting onstage at the end of the night, playing “Chevy Van” and closing with “Two Pink Lines,” a crowd favorite in San Jose. Fans at the popular club on Coleman Avenue paid $10 to get in (or $5 if they had a ticket from the earlier show), and Moore donated it all to St. Jude.

“The afterparty was only promoted as ‘more entertainment following the show,’ ” said KRTY-FM General Manager Nate Deaton, who helped set up the gig. “I did the intro for Justin, and it was the loudest I have ever heard the place, with the possible exception of when I went back out to bring up Church.”
