McCoy Moore brings his first headlining tour to The Moon

The Florida country singer, fresh off a year opening for HARDY, plays Tallahassee on Friday, Jan. 29, between Gainesville and Charleston on his Tyin' One On Tour.

A year ago McCoy Moore was a name on the undercard. By late January he will be the reason 1,500 people are standing in The Moon on a Friday night.

McCoy Moore plays The Moon in Tallahassee on Friday, Jan. 29, 2027, with the show at 8 p.m. The date was announced Oct. 26, and tickets are through AXS, where the night is listed as "McCoy Moore x Stetsons on The Moon."

The stop falls inside Moore's first headlining run, the Tyin' One On Tour, which opens in his home state at Gainesville's Heartwood Soundstage on Jan. 28 and heads to Limbo at The Refinery in Charleston, South Carolina, on Jan. 30. Tallahassee sits right between the two, the second night of the whole thing.

That matters because Moore is a Florida native, and his music leans into it. His debut album is called *Sunshine State*, released May 22, 2026, through Sony Music Nashville and Cervidae Records. MusicRow described the record as Moore getting nostalgic, and four days after it came out he made his Grand Ole Opry debut on May 26.

The album followed a self-titled debut EP that arrived Nov. 7, 2025, on Sony Music Nashville, seven songs including "Something To You," "Dress Rehearsal" and "John Deere Blue." He kept the singles coming, including "Prayin' For Me," while building a live résumé the hard way.

Tallahassee is the second night of McCoy Moore's first headlining tour, and the first stop in the state he named his debut album after.

The biggest piece of that résumé was 2026 on the road with HARDY. Moore was tapped as direct support on every date of HARDY's COUNTRY! COUNTRY! Tour, a nightly lesson in winning over a crowd that came to see someone else. He also played Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale in April, one of several artists flagged to catch before the headliners came on.

Now the crowd is his. For Tallahassee, that means a hometown-state show early in a tour, when the set is fresh and the songs from *Sunshine State* are getting their first real run in front of people who came specifically for them. For a lot of college-age country fans in town, it is also a chance to say they saw him in a 1,500-cap room before the rooms get bigger.

Tickets are on AXS now. If you are planning a Stetson for the occasion, the event name suggests you will not be the only one.
