He delivered a high-energy set that included “Good Time” and “Paradise to Me,” along with new tracks from his recent These Are The Days EP. During the show, Moon paused to make a heartfelt announcement on behalf of the Happy Cowboy Foundation, which he co-founded with his wife, Anna. He presented a check for $22,000 to Mission 22, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. In launching the Happy Cowboy Foundation, he hopes to raise awareness and funds for individuals battling mental health challenges who may not have access to the resources they need.
“Mission 22 is doing incredible work, offering free, long-term programs that focus on healing and growth for veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress, brain injuries and other challenges,” shared Moon. “It’s an honor to support their mission and help those who have given so much to our country.”
Additionally, the artist recently announced his plans to hit the road next year on “These Are The Nights: The Tour.”
