Luke Combs Talks Rise To Fame
Discussing the new exhibit, Kyle Young, the CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame, said, “Few artists have experienced the kind of meteoric rise and sustained success Luke Combs has since signing his first recording contract just two years after moving to Nashville.” The CEO added, “He has earned a career-defining string of #1 singles, set new benchmarks on the music charts, won more than a dozen major country music industry awards since 2016 and sold out stadiums around the world.”
Sharing his journey to stardom, Combs opened up about how he wanted nothing more than to call his music a job. “If I could have enough fans to call it a job, I was set. Other than that, I never dreamed of being featured in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, much less having my own exhibit; that was beyond my wildest dreams. But honestly, it’s all a credit to my fans, family, songwriters and team. I have only made it to where I am today because of them, and this honor is one of my most humbling yet. At my core I love Country Music and this exhibit is as prestigious of an honor as it gets.”
Fans can visit the Combs exhibit starting July 11, 2024, with it running through June 2025.
