McCOY MOORE KNOWS SOMEONE IS ‘PRAYIN’ FOR ME‘ ON NEW RELEASE
GEARING UP TO JOIN HARDY ON HIS COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR
Named An Artist To Watch By Holler, Country Now, and More
NASHVILLE, TN. – Rising country artist McCoy Moore is kicking off the year with his heartfelt and reflective new single ‘Prayin’ For Me’. Listen here.
“Early last year, it really felt like everything started coming together for me in Nashville and I thought, man someone must be praying for me. I knew there were a few, but there’s got to be some more that I didn’t know about,” Moore shared. “The song ‘Prayin’ For Me’ is a thank you to everybody who prayed for me then, and everybody who still does now.”
Following the release of his debut EP last year, Moore has been named and artist to watch by Country Now, Fandom Daily, Music Mayhem, and more, with Holler adding “Moore’s strength lies in balance between vulnerability and grit, between tradition and modernity.” and Entertainment Focus praising it as “a bold, versatile first chapter…built for the long run“.
Moore first turned heads with fan favorites like ‘John Deere Blue’, hailed by Music Row as “classy, classic-sounding country” and ‘Naming Boats’. This new track marks a natural next step, it’s intimate, reflective, and grounded in modern country tradition.
At the end of 2025, the emerging entertainer wrapped an opening run with Kip Moore, as well as Chase Rice earlier in the fall. He is set for a whirlwind 2026 as he joins HARDY on the COUNTRY! COUNTRY! Tour across North American and will make his European debut at C2C Berlin and The Netherlands.

ABOUT MCCOY MOORE:
With an uncanny power to mold the God’s-honest-truth into casual, clever hooks – plus a disarming charm that can’t be faked – singer-songwriter McCoy Moore makes the kind of country that never tries too hard but always hits just right. Signed to TRACK mgmt, Neal Artist Dev / The Neal Agency and SMACK Songs, the 24-year-old talent an instant-classic vocal and a no-pretense style, mixing modern sonic energy with timeless heart. An avowed Average Joe with all the gifts of a small-town poet, everything from Keith Whitley’s emotional courage to the nostalgic genius of Kenny Chesney helped shape his country love. Native to outside Lakeland, Florida, Moore went on to take guitar and voice lessons instead of geometry, developing a rich, commanding baritone he mostly used at home. But everything changed in 2017, when the 16-year-old dreamer met a rising star named Luke Combs. Offering sage advice, Combs encouraged Moore’s relaxed-fit authenticity while preaching the make-it-happen gospel… and the newcomer took it to heart. Moving to Nashville at 19, Moore spent the ensuing years honing a craft defined by sharp country hooks and warm, welcoming relatability, already earning cuts by Shane Profitt, Roman Alexander, Bryce Mauldin and more. His own artist career began with the release of his first single, “Something To You” in early 2025 to then signing a record deal with Sony Music Nashville. Moore recently released his debut, self-titled EP featuring seven tracks that are the perfect introduction to him and his music. The emerging entertainer recently wrapped up an opening run with Kip Moore, as well as Chase Rice this past fall. He is set for a whirlwind 2026 as he joins HARDY on the COUNTRY! COUNTRY! Tour across North American and will make his European debut at C2C.
