NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville songwriter and Country/Americana artist Steve Moakler has announced his upcoming tour in correlation with the release of his highly anticipated 7th studio album. The six-stop Make a Little Room Release Tour kicks off August 5 in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, hitting D.C., New York City, and concluding in Nashville on August 27. Tickets for the tour will be on sale Friday, June 24 at noon local time.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever had so much excitement and anticipation around a run of shows… It’s been close to 4 years since I’ve performed in a music venue,” Steve Moakler said. “Gonna be a really special time celebrating this new music with the people we made it for.”
Moakler will perform new songs from the album, including the title track and “Let’s Go to the Lake,” just released Friday, June 17. Co-written by Steve with Creative Nation founder Luke Laird and Barry Dean,“Let’s Go to the Lake” is equal parts hopeful and sentimental urging listeners to turn in to nostalgia.
“From the moment we started writing it, I had a feeling that this was gonna be a key song on the album,” Steve Moakler said. “I like to imagine people listening to this as they make a break outta town together. I think it’ll sound good through some boat speakers too!”
The new track shares a common theme laced throughout the album, a call to treasure life’s simple moments and the people with you. Last month, Steve released the album’s title track, which received early support from CMT and American Songwriter.
The album, available on August 12, features co-writes with some of Nashville’s most distinguished songwriters in the genre, including Marcus Hummon, Neil Medley,and Lucie Silvas among others. With Moakler serving as a co-writer on all of the tracks, each of the ten songs features his uncommon wisdom paired perfectly alongside rootsy rhythms and tender vocals.
Since signing with Creative Nation in 2014, the Pittsburgh native has gone on to release several critically acclaimed and autobiographical albums. He has also penned songs performed by Reba McEntire, Dierks Bentley, Jake Owen and Ben Rector among others. His work as a songwriter has seen multiple chart success, including Dierks Bentley’s single “Riser,” which was RIAA- certified Gold. Moakler appeared on the Grand Ole Opry stage, toured with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Old Dominion, and Willie Nelson, while also forging meaningful relationships with his fans as he canvassed the country on tour.
With the impending release of Make a Little Room, Moakler continues to create not only reflective music for his own personal journey, but also songs that are highly relevant and effortlessly uplifting for all listeners.
