Luke Combs
Luke Combs has become one of the most successful recording artists in country music over the past several years, beginning with his 2016 breakthrough single “Hurricane.” After barnstorming the country for several years, the Asheville, North Carolina singer released his 2017 debut album This One’s For You in 2017.
The album went six times platinum, and in the years since, Combs has become one of the most consistent and reliable hitmakers in country music, scoring over a dozen Number One singles at country radio. In 2023, he earned his highest crossover chart success when his cover of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 classic “Fast Car” became a Number Two hit on the all-genre Hot 100.
In ensuing years, Combs has released three successive studio albums, including 2019’s What You See Is What You Get, which included what would quickly become Comb’s signature single “Beer Never Broke My Heart.” He has collaborated with everyone from country stalwarts like Morgan Wallen and Eric Church to Nineties legends like Shenendoah and Brooks & Dunn to genre-hopping acts like Billy Strings and Leon Bridges.
Meanwhile, Combs has become an arena and stadium-level act on the road, selling out multiple nights at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in the Spring of 2023. —Jonathan Bernstein
