McCoy Moore
Merriweather Post Pavilion — Columbia, MD

McCoy Moore is a soul and R&B artist working in the space between vintage funk grooves and modern production. His music tends toward late-night introspection, built on warm bass lines and the kind of vocal delivery that sounds like he's telling you something he probably shouldn't. Moore's tracks often explore relationships and self-doubt with a dry wit that keeps things from getting too precious. He emerged from the producer and session musician circuit, which shows in how deliberately he constructs each song. His appeal is quiet but insistent—the kind of artist people discover through playlists and then can't stop playing.

Moore's shows are understated and controlled. The crowd leans in rather than jumps. There's minimal banter, maximum focus on the groove. People stand still, absorbing it. No phone lights. Just patience.

Known for Midnight Confessions, Electric Feel, Gravity, Neon Hearts, Cold Coffee

Washington DC's music scene has always thrived on indie and alternative acts with substance. The city's venues and audiences reward artists who don't rely on flash, preferring instead the kind of honest songwriting and performance that McCoy Moore seems built for. DC crowds are discerning without being pretentious—they just want real.

Stay in Georgetown or Capitol Hill, both walkable neighborhoods with excellent restaurants and bars. Book a table at Kinfolk in Capitol Hill for refined New American cooking, or head to Pineapple and Pearls for something more elaborate if you want to splurge. During the day, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden offers world-class contemporary art without the crowds of the main Smithsonians. Walk the C&O Canal towpath if the weather cooperates. Hit up one of the city's serious record shops like Smash! Records before the show.
