Kip Moore Announces New ‘Room to Spare’ Acoustic Tour Dates
Last month Kip Moore released the stripped-down Room to Spare: The Acoustic Sessions EP, a seven-song set that highlighted both his songwriting and the nuances of his gruff voice. The Georgia native launched a four-date mini-tour in support of the project, and has now announced plans to extend the run in 2019.
Moore will play 28 dates, including shows in Canada and the U.K., kicking off the trek March 7th in Chicago. Charlie Worsham and the duo Muscadine Bloodline will open select dates.
Since arriving on the scene with the 2011 Number One “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck,” Moore has established himself as a bit of a Nashville outsider, an artist more concerned with following his own path than any cookie-cutter Music City template. He told Rolling Stone Country last summer that he’s keenly aware of the importance of engaging his audience with songs other than radio hits.
“That song brought in a new fan base,” Moore says of his breakthrough hit “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck,” “but you have to ask: Once the fans are there, how are we going to keep them? That’s the difference. Can you keep them once they show up?”
