Thursday night, Justin Moore is the opening act for Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker in Bozeman. Its the show that would have been in Metra Park, pre-tornado.
Justin has had a busy year. Couple of big hits; Backwoods, Small Town USA, How I Got To Be This Way. Birth of Ella Kole, his first child. Network special that aired a couple of weeks ago on GAC. Really busy year for Justin.
But it wasn't always that way. In 2008, Justin was another of the new singers in Nashville that no one had heard before. After booking Justin into a small club in north Phoenix, AZ, we went to dinner at a Mexican place on the parking lot of the club. Justin grew up as an only child in Poyen, Arkansas with about 271 other people. Chances are real good he had not seen a lot of Mexican restaurants where Spanish was the ONLY language.
That night, Justin was immersed in Spanish language, as only those who live in Arizona would really understand. Every sign in the restaurant was Spanish ONLY.
Justin was an Arkie out of water. I was able to interpret a bit and help Justin get something he wanted.
Turned out to be a number 4. Three chicken tacos.
