McCoy Moore Gets Nostalgic On ‘Sunshine State’ Set For May
Rising artist McCoy Moore is giving a nod to the place it all began for him on his upcoming debut album, Sunshine State, due out May 22 via Sony Music Nashville/Cervidae Records.
The Lakeland, Florida native co-wrote all but one of the 14 tracks on the new album, produced by Will Bundy, that taps the spirit and nostalgic heat of long-gone summers. The project is filled with heavy bass lines and steel guitars that hang thick like Spanish Moss off an old Live Oak (similar to the one on the album’s cover, which was shot in Moore’s grandparents’ garage). Writers contributing to the new album include Jessi Alexander, Matt McKinney, Shane McAnally, Thomas Archer and more.
“This record is something I’ve been working on my whole life and didn’t even know it. I feel like I covered all the bases of who I am, where I’m from, and the music I love to make. The people, the places, the memories, it all made this record, even after I left Florida,” shared Moore. “It was only right that I give a nod to the place where it all started, the Sunshine State. I hope y’all absolutely love this record and feel the heart that me and my friends put into it.”
Moore is currently in Europe making his debut on the continent at C2C, and has also been on the road on Hardy’s “Country! Country! Tour,” which will continue through September.
