Kip Moore

Kip Moore plays the Ogden Theatre on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, starting at 7 PM. He's a singer-songwriter from Tifton, Georgia, who pairs a raw, rustic voice with honest, personal lyrics. If you've never heard him, that's a fair summary of what he brings to the stage: a voice that sounds lived-in and lyrics that don't shy away from the specifics of real life.

Moore's background helps explain the sound. He was the youngest of six children, born to a golf pro and a painter who taught piano and played the church organ. He grew up listening to Jackson Browne, Willie Nelson, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen—writers who built their careers on the kind of storytelling that sits at the center of his own work. Before he ever stepped foot in Nashville, he played point guard and golf at Wallace State University, then spent some time in Hawaii. On January 1, 2004, he drove to Nashville in an old black Nissan truck, and not long after, he signed with MCA Nashville. Brett James produced his debut album, and Moore wrote every song on it himself, including "Mary Was the Marrying Kind."

He's described himself as an introvert, and that comes through in the way he talks about his writing. He's said he's drawn to real-life experiences between men and women rather than fairytale love—the kind of stuff that happens in the quiet spaces between the big moments. It's that preference for the grounded over the glossy that gives his songs their weight.

The show is at the Ogden Theatre in Denver on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, with the music starting at 7 PM.
