Appearing locally on his national “Hell on a Highway Tour,” Justin Moore will treat country-music fans to signature songs from the artist's four studio albums to date, half a dozen of which peaked at number-one on the Billboard charts.
In mid-2008, at the age of 24, Moore signed to the Valory Music Group imprint of Big Machine Records, which released his first radio single and Billboard Hot Country Songs hit “I Could Kick Your Ass.” The following summer, Moore's self-titled debut album premiered at number three on the Top Country Albums chart, and led to three of its songs making the Billboard Top 20: “How I Got to Be This Way” at number 17, “Backwoods” at number six, and “Small Town USA” – an ode to his hometown of Poyen, Arkansas – at number one.
With the Justin Moore album a double-platinum seller, the singer/songwriter/guitarist's next three releases – 2011's Outlaws Like Me, 2013's Off the Beaten Path, and 2016's Kinda Don't Care – all debuted at the top of the Billboard charts, and contributed to Moore scoring another five chart-topping singles: “If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away,” “'Til My Last Day,” “Lettin' the Night Roll,” “You Look Like I Need a Drink,” and “Somebody Else Will.” Beyond his recording successes, Moore was also a 2012 American Country Award nominee for “Breakthrough Artist of the Year,” and has earned an Academy of Country Music Award for “New Artist of the Year” and Inspirational Country Music Awards for “Mainstream Inspirational Country Song” and “Inspirartional Video,” both of them for 2011's “If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away.”
Justin Moore performs with an opening set by chart-topping country singer Dylan Scott, and tickets are available by calling (800)745-3000 or visiting TaxSlayerCenter.com.
