McCoy Moore Makes Grand Ole Opry Debut
McCoy Moore made his Grand Ole Opry debut Tuesday evening (May 26).
“Moments like these are what make it all worthwhile. I never thought in a million years I’d be doing this,” shared Moore from stage. “I’m super thankful every time I get to share my heart on stage, but this is the one stage I wanted to play since I first picked up a guitar.”
During the debut, Moore performed “Sunshine State,” the title track of his debut album, and a solo rendition of “Bible and a Bar.” The performance earned a standing ovation from the crowd.
“Thank you to the Opry. My goal was always to play here but my goal now is to play here again, and I’ll do it any time you want me!”
Moore released his debut album, Sunshine State, last Friday (May 22). He is currently on the road supporting HARDY throughout the year and will support Ashley Cooke on select dates this fall. Moore will also make festival appearances at CMA Fest, Summerfest, Cavendish Beach Music Festival and more throughout the summer.
