Season 5: Episode 125 Interview with Kolton Moore

This was such a fun interviewand such a pleasure talking with Kolton Moore (of Kolton Moore and The Clever Few) from his home town-populaton 67! They have so much going a new single“Strawberry Thief” out TODAY, a new album “A Place That I Call Home” (available for pre-order now) out in September, and a fall tour kicking off soon! We chatted about how this new record differs from the others. Kolton called it a “grown up record”. We also chatted about how he got started in his career by taking a chance and entering a contest from a Texas radio station called “The Pickin’ Party” and how things have gone from there. Truly a greatconversation with a truly humble human being.

Kolton Moore & The Clever Few have announced their sixth studio album A Place That I Call Home, due out September 26. Produced by GRAMMY-winner Matt Ross-Spang (JasonIsbell, Margo Price), the new album finds the band navigating adulthood while taking stock of hard-earned life lessons along the way.

Recorded in full-band takes at Ross-Spang’s Memphis studio in less than five days, A Place That I Call Home captures Kolton Moore & The Clever Few's electrifying mix of rock, blue-collarstorytelling and Texas-sized country hooks. Lyrically, the songs here are mined from Moore’s personal experiences, from wild teenage nights and mental health journeys to the joys of fatherhood. The end result is an album about redefining the meaning of home from a road-warrior band that used to play 250 shows a year when they debuted in 2012.

Made up of frontman Kolton Moore and backed by lead guitarist Ryan Wilcox, bassist Matt Gumley, keys player Sam Jones and drummer Aaron Dowd, the band strikes the right balance between Southern grit and maturity on A Place That I Call Home. With almost 630,000 uniquemonthly listeners on Spotify alone, they’re now shining a light on their evolution without pulling any of the punches that have landed their music on TV shows like Yellowstone and American Idol.
