Kolton Moore & The Clever Few have shared their new single, “Strawberry Thief,” the next from their upcoming sixth album, A Place That I Call Home, out September 26, 2025. The song is an “ode to the joys of fatherhood,” and the new single arrives with a music video featuring home video footage of Kolton “making memories with his family.”
Kolton Moore & The Clever Few have also announced a headlining Fall tour, kicking things off on October 9 in Birmingham, AL before making their way to Nashville, New York City, Atlanta, Chicago and more.
Kolton Moore says about the song:
This one is close to home, probably my favorite song on the record. For me, the line that says it all is, ‘Butterflies and dandelions / A little strawberry thief,’ about my daughter always getting to the ripe strawberries in the garden before me or my wife can make it to them. It’s about me coming to the realization that memories like that won’t ever be recreated; they’ll always just be memories.
On the video, he adds:
I knew this video would be an emotional experience, but as we shot the video and I kept seeing the clips of our little girl growing up — all the emotions of the song really came flooding in. The idea for the home video/ projector look came from my wife. I was kind of at a loss as to how we could visually capture this song and it make sense to everyone. The projector depicts how the memories look like in my head. Our evening fishing trips, swimming in the summer sun, making funny faces with mommy, eating all of the strawberries out of the garden before we even make it inside … this is what ‘Strawberry Thief’ is to me.
Produced by Grammy-winner Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price), the Texas five-piece’s forthcoming album finds them “navigating adulthood while taking stock of hard-earned life lessons along the way.” 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.”
