Born Justin Cole Moore, the singer/songwriter began life in small town America, working on his family’s farm, singing gospel songs in Church and performing in his junior year of high school, where he won a talent show at just eight years old. After which he joined his uncle’s Southern rock band and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., back in 2002. He then met a gentleman named Scott Borchetta, a music executive, who was creating the record label Valory Music Group and said he would like to sign Moore if he could be patient.
Sure enough in 2008 Justin Moore signed to the Valory Music Group which represented an epoch in his music career, with his first radio single “Back That Thing Up” reaching number 38 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. For Moore’s first full-length he left it up to fans to decide on which songs should be on the album by allowing them to make a playlist of his songs, with the top ten most picked making it to the album. By this point Moore has brought together an impressive group of musicians which led to a series of opening support slots on tours by Luke Bryan, Trace Adkins, ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Moore has charted in the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart a total of eight times, four of which he topped with his songs “Small Town USA”, “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away”, “Til My Last Day” and “Lettin’ the Night Roll”. On top of this Moore’s two most recent albums “Outlaws Like Me” and “Off the Beaten Path” have both topped the Billboard Country Album charts. Steve Leggett of Allmusic puts this down to Moore having a ‘ready made imagine’ that’s not hard to publicise and his ability to write his own music is another string to his bow.
In 2014 Justin Moore won the award for New Artist of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
It was Fabulous...
Great crowd interaction and high energy.
Loved his vibe and would definitely see him again.His new song about his granddad's was so heartfelt and relatable. Also it was a treat when he played with Brad Paisley and Chris Lane.
Rain or shine, outdoor at county fairs or at indoor venues, Justin Moore knows how to work the crowd. Standing on stage with his shirt tucked into his jeans and his cowboy hat topping his head, he encourages his fans to sing a little louder, clap a little harder, stomp a little faster. Whether they're singing along to “Point At You” or sobbing as one to “If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away”, the audience will be moved by Moore's music. His touching, clever lyrics combined with his heart of gold make him the perfect country musician.
A successful American singer from Arkansas, Moore's albums, Justin Moore, Outlaws Like Me, and Off the Beaten Path prove him to be country through and through. His songs “Til My Last Day”, “If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away”, “Small Town USA”, and “Letting the Night Roll” all made the Hot Country Songs charts, and he won the New Artist of the Year award in 2014.
Not only his talent, but also his personality make him stand out as a musician. Justin Moore is an undeniably sweet guy. At one concert, he sang “happy birthday” to a boy in the crowd, and at another he asked the security to back off in order to be closer to his fans. His songs, often rich with emotion, are rendered even more effective by his obvious connection to the crowd. See him in concert once, and you're sure to want to see him again!
