BAMP Project presents Kip Moore performing live on Maui at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center Castle Theater, Saturday, March 18th, 2017.

He was a road warrior, living out of a tour bus with his bandmates and playing more than 200 shows per year. For a songwriter who'd grown up in a quiet pocket of southern Georgia, performing to crowds across the world — crowds that knew every word to his best-selling debut album, Up All Night — felt like a dream come true.
