About this episode

Luke Combs discusses his music journey, the impact of his hit song, and his new album.

Luke Combs comes by the podcast and we get into everything from his early Vine days, the moment he realized music was his path, and how “When It Rains It Pours” changed his career. We talk about the wild gift that Garth Brooks gave him, and what it’s like going from a regular guy writing songs in Nashville to selling out stadiums. We also get into his new album, The Way I Am, who he would have in his boy band, and when he got Pretty Womaned in Beverly Hills.
