On The Row: McCoy Moore Previews Debut Album

McCoy Moore stopped by the MusicRow office earlier this week to share a preview of his debut album Sunshine State, which is out today via Sony Music Nashville/Cervidae Records.

The Lakeland, Florida native first picked up a guitar after meeting Luke Combs at a Tampa show. Moving to Nashville at 19, Moore spent the first years honing his craft and earned cuts with Shane Profitt, Roman Alexander, Bryce Mauldin and more.

Today, Moore released his debut album, Sunshine State. Inspired by the sounds of Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, and Keith Whitley, the project weaves themes of nostalgia across its 14 tracks. Produced by Will Bundy, the album was written alongside Jessi Alexander, Johnny Clawson, Shane McAnally and Will Weatherly, among others.

Moore shared the title track “Sunshine State,” “Went To The Bar” and “Something To You” with the team.

“If I had a dream at 16, everything is going exactly how [I] thought it would go. All of it’s just a blessing,” he says.

Moore is currently supporting HARDY on the “Country! Country! Tour,” which will continue through September.
