June 26, 2025 – Today, 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 (Jason Isbell, Margo Price), the new album finds the band navigating adulthood while taking stock of hard-earned life lessons along the way. With the announcement, the five-piece Texas outfit shares their new single “When We Were Young,” an anthemic ode to the golden days of youth.

Moore on the new single: “This song is about the good ol’ days of high school. The only thing you had to worry about was how you were going to get beer on the weekend because you were too young to buy it for yourself. My favorite lines are, ‘We used to think we knew it all, turns out this old place wasn’t that bad at all. You’ve got two ears and one mouth for a reason.’ This is something that I was told a lot growing up, but never really understood what it meant until these past few years.”
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-collar storytelling 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.
“I’m reflecting on the things that make me feel comfortable,” says Moore. “I’m singing about the places that feel like home to me. The road has always been my home, but so is my daughter. So is my wife. Whenever they’re with me, wherever we are, I’m home. And when I sing about driving my first truck or smoking my first joint in ‘When We Were Young,’ that feels like home, too. I’m lucky; I have home all around me.”
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 unique monthly 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.
