Kip Moore sure knows how to throw one hell of a release show. Hearing the new album from top to bottom was incredible. This album is truly something special.
Reason to Believe is Kip’s seventh studio album, following his 2025 release, Solitary Tracks. The new record is a 13-song project, with three singles already released: “Levee,” “Faith in the Wind,” and “The Darkness.” The songwriting and musicianship displayed throughout this project are top-tier and a true masterclass in artistry. From electric-driven power ballads to melodic acoustic storytelling, Moore covers all the bases.
This release show was an unreal experience due to it being held in such an intimate venue. The show took place at one of East Nashville’s hidden gems, The East Room. With a capacity of only 250 people, it felt like a rock-and-roll show right inside your living room. Kip stated on his Instagram prior to the show that it had been a long time since he’d played a room that small. To see an artist at his level perform in a venue the size of the ones he started in was pretty damn cool.
Kip had a five-piece band consisting of drums, bass, two electric guitars, and Moore himself. Not only did they play the record from top to bottom, but he also threw in a few notable hits like “Flowers in December” and “That Was Us.”
Kip Moore has had an extensive career dating back to his move to Nashville in 2004. He spent years writing songs and playing small venues and bars around Music City before breaking onto the scene in 2011–2012 with his smash hit “Somethin’ ’Bout a Truck.” The song topped country radio charts and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in 2012. It was the track that truly introduced him to mainstream country music audiences. His 2012 album Up All Night also featured notable songs such as “Beer Money” and “Hey Pretty Girl.”
He’s done it all. From grinding it out as a Nashville songwriter to reaching the top of the country charts, he’s been everywhere in between. Now 46 years old, Moore is still putting out incredible music and bringing his extremely loyal fan base along for the ride.
