Luke Combs

“I've been singing my entire life. The guitar came to me later on down the road.”

“When I go into a room to write, it's like I'm not trying to say, 'I need to write a song that sounds like Eric Church or Jason Aldean.' I just try to get the best song that's in the room that day. Whatever style or sound that may be, I'm not afraid to attack it at that angle.”

“It's a good pair of jeans and a pair of boots that are comfortable and a T-shirt; that's as far as I go. Getting wild with it might be a nice jacket, but I'm not a high-fashion guy for sure.”

“Anytime that me and the guys go out on the road, it's fun to step away from the craziness of what it is we do. I just enjoy that time being outside with my buddies.”

“As crazy as it sounds, my generation is very lazy.”

“I don't want to put myself in any kind of a box as far as my sound goes, because being an artist is fluid. If you look at a painter's work, a lot of times, it's similar in style, but other times - over even a year's period - it can change so much. I'm just going with the flow.”

“It's been cool to watch the fans who've kind of always been there for me. That's just a special feeling every night: to go out and know that there is people that are proud, not just to be at the show but proud to be your fan, and they're invested in what you're doing.”

“I'm an honest dude, not trying to be anything other than who I am.”

“I think I never had this grandiose dream of being any country music star. I just slowly progressed into that's what I'm doing.”

“We'd been out touring for a couple of years before we signed with Sony and everything.”

“I didn't know how to play guitar until I was 21, but from the moment I was good enough on guitar to even put one song together, I kind of billed myself as an artist.”

“Both of my grandfathers were in the service. It's one of those things that you can't be thankful enough for.”

“I could play a gig on the moon and not be nervous about it.”

“I've never been too concerned with what I'm wearing, and that probably makes a lot of people angry, but I let the music do the talking and let the image be what it's going to be.”

“I've always been a super regular guy.”

“I knew I was a good singer - I've been singing my whole life, so I was comfortable enough with that - I felt like I could compensate with not being great on guitar.”

“Write what you want to write, write what people want to hear, and write about what they're going through, because if you could connect with the people who are listening to your music and coming to your concerts and coming to your meet and greets, then you're doing your job well.”

“I've always been a 'small goals' kind of guy.”

“Sometimes, you sit down to write a song, you don't realize what it's going to mean to somebody other than yourself.”
