McCoy Moore - Sunshine State (Deluxe) (2026) [Hi-Res]

“Sunshine State is the most honest representation of who I am, where I come from, and how I see the world. Every story, memory, lesson, heartbreak, dream, and musical influence I’ve picked up over the last 25 years found its way into these songs,” shared Moore. “This record is an accumulation of all the life experiences and music that shaped me growing up – from days spent heartbroken to days spent at the beach, and everything in between. It feels incredible to finally share who I am with the world. My hope is that somewhere in these songs, people find pieces of their own story too.”

Through beaming baritone vocals and a warm sonic glow, the Lakeland, Florida native embodies the land of perpetual summer, complete with its easy-does-it code of humble sincerity. A lifelong country fan schooled on late ‘90s and early 2000s radio, Kenny Chesney (his first concert), Tim McGraw, and Keith Whitley were the soundtrack to travel baseball and day trips to the beach, before a chance encounter with Luke Combs in 2017 helped propel Moore’s move to Nashville when he was 19 years old.

Co-writing all but one of 14 songs produced by hit maker Will Bundy (Riley Green, Ella Langley, Thomas Rhett), modern muscle and a throwback country spirit tap the nostalgic heat of long-gone summers, while Moore’s vocal carries the buzz of an incoming thunderhead. Heavy bass lines and steel guitars hang thick like Spanish Moss off an old Live Oak (much like the one on the album’s cover, which was shot in his grandparents’ garage), with soaring emotions and bright melodies begging to be cranked up loud.

In addition to opening for HARDY throughout the year, Moore is also confirmed for CMA Fest, Milwaukee Summerfest, Cavendish Music Festival, and more, and will make his Grand Ole Opry debut May 26 after receiving an on-stage invite from HARDY on Moore’s 25th birthday (watch HERE). He has also been tapped as an artist to watch by Holler, Country Now, Music Mayhem, Entertainment Focus, and more, with Rock N Load celebrating, “If modern country is at its best when vulnerability meets grit, McCoy Moore is an artist quietly getting it exactly right.”

With a style rooted in the charm of his Central-Florida home, Sony Music Entertainment’s McCoy Moore makes country music so radiant and relaxed it should come with SPF 50. Through beaming baritone vocals and a warm sonic glow, the singer-songwriter embodies the land of perpetual summer, complete with its easy-does-it code of humble sincerity. On his debut album, Sunshine State, the Lakeland native shows Florida is much more than a vacation destination – it’s the place that made him the artist he is.

A lifelong country fan schooled on late ‘90s and early 2000s radio, Kenny Chesney (his first concert), Tim McGraw, and Keith Whitley were the soundtrack to travel baseball and day trips to the beach, before a chance encounter with Luke Combs in 2017 helped propel Moore to Nashville at 19 years old. Wrapping nostalgic real-life stories in a rich, resonate country baritone, he began releasing music in 2025 with tracks like “Something to You,” and has now accumulated more than 17 million global streams while touring with HARDY, Kip Moore, and Chase Rice.

But his heart remains in the Sunshine State. Co-writing all but one of 14 songs produced by hit maker Will Bundy (Riley Green, Ella Langley, Thomas Rhett), modern muscle and a throwback country spirit tap the nostalgic heat of long gone summers, while Moore’s vocal carries the buzz of an incoming thunderhead. Heavy bass lines and steel guitars hang thick like Spanish Moss off an old Live Oak (much like the one on the album’s cover, which was shot in his grandparents’ garage), with soaring emotions and bright melodies begging to be cranked up loud. Over and over, vivid memories transform into singalong revelations of Moore’s Sunshine State.
