BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
New Jersey-born, Pittsburgh-raised singer-songwriter Steve Moakler moved to Nashville in 2006 to pursue his dreams of becoming a country star. He cut his teeth gigging around town and writing songs for artists like Ben Rector and Jake Owen, and in 2009 he self-released his debut album All the Faint Light. Moakler's reputation steadily grew with 2011's Watching Time Run and 2014's Wide Open, both of which garnered critical praise and cracked the Top 10 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. Encouraged by the chart success, he continued to generate buzz in 2015 with a mixtape release and a songwriting credit on Dierks Bentley's hit single "Riser," which he co-wrote with Travis Meadows. 2016 proved a watershed moment for the rising star – in addition to making his Grand Ole Opry debut and scoring his first appearance on the Top Country Albums chart with a self-titled EP, Moakler joined Old Dominion on a major national tour that introduced his fresh sound to fans across the country.
