Kip Moore has teamed up with CASE Construction Equipment and has released a new video saluting construction workers. “These folks come out to my shows after working long shifts, 50-60 hour weeks, and I never forget that,” says Kip. “They take extreme pride in the work they do. It inspires me to put on the best show I can every night, and I wanted to thank them and honor their work and commitment with something they can relate to,” says Kip. “The lyrics for ‘On the Case’ were written to do that.” As part of the video promotion, you can submit photos of yourself, your crew or equipment at work, helping to build a community for a chance to appear in a second version of “On the Case” music video and have a chance to win concert tickets for Kip’s CMT On Tour 2014: Up in Smoke.
