Luke Combs

Blessed with raw talent, his powerful sound landed him a solo performance in the fabled Carnegie Hall while he was still in high school.

Of course, city slicking wasn’t in Luke’s plans. He dropped out of college in his senior year and moved to Nashville, the epicenter of his beloved country genre, where he concentrated on improving his guitar-playing and songwriting skills. After honing his stage presence in countless live performances, he self-released key songs on early EPs including the single “Hurricane.”

Garnering audience buzz, Combs caught the attention of River House/Columbia Nashville, his first big recording contract. Reworking “Hurricane” for radio gave Combs his first hit, selling 15,000 copies and hitting #46 on the Billboard Country chart. This led to singing with Sony Music Nashville, and one more re-release of “Hurricane.” His debut album release, 2017s This One’s For You, solidified Combs’ status by reaching number one on the chart.

Comb’s next big hit was an evolution from “Hurricane’s” slow-burn buildup to the moving ballad “Beautiful Crazy” in 2018. The song charted at number one for almost two months and played a huge role in his becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry. It also helped him hit a huge milestone in becoming the first artist to hit Billboard's top country charts at the same time: Top Country Albums, Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, Country Streaming Songs, and Country Digital Song Sales.

Luke then hit the road hard and built up a fanbase on the back of his energetic, dominating performances, revealing his skill in capturing his audiences in ways few artists do. From 2017 to the present, Combs has relentlessly toured, both as headliner and in support of other artists like Lainey Wilson and Cody Johnson. His exclusive live performances on platforms like Apple Music have further cemented his reputation as a solid live act.

In the midst of all that stage time, Luke Combs continues to create new music. In 2019, he dropped what was destined to be another number one country album, What You See Is What You Get. Proving once again his ability to please country music fans, Combs charted more hits like “Even Though I’m Leaving,” “Does to Me,” and the crowd-pleasing “Beer Never Broke My Heart.”

The unstoppable Combs brought it again in 2022. His Growin’ Up LP once again made number one on the country charts with hits like “Doin’ This” and “The Kind of Love We Make.” Combs balances a bold new confidence with reflective humility, while his audiences continue to feel close to a singer who, despite being more popular than ever, yet never forgets where he came from.

It all started when Thomas Rhett Atkins Jr. was old enough to go on stage with his father, Rhett Atkins, and play the drums for him. The band was put together in high school called The High Heeled Flip Flops. After high school, Rhett went to college at Lipscomb University in Nashville Tennessee and played as a member of Tau Phi for their cowboy show. It was from this experience that he grew used to big crowds and commanding the audience.

Rhett co-wrote the song “I Ain’t Ready to Quit” on Jason Aldeans’ 2010 album, “My Kinda Party” and then signed a contract with Big Machine Records, Valory Music Group division in 2011. He released his debut single “Something to Do with My Hands” which was released on February 21st 2012, with a music video too. The song reached number 15 on the US Hot Country Songs. His follow up single “Beer With Jesus” was released on September 4th 2012, and reached number 1 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. It wasn’t until his song “It Goes Like This” released on May 6th 2013, that Rhett got the success that he deserved, with the song going Platinum, and making it to number 1 on the US Country Airplay chart, it also became the title track of his debut album, which was released on October 29th 2013. The albums’ fourth single “Get Me Some of That” became Rhett’s second number 1 single.

Rhett has also co written the 2013 singles “1994” by Jason Aldean, “Parking Lot Party” by Lee Brice and “Round Here” by Florida Georgia Line.
