“I’ve spent the last couple of years trying my best to make something that I would be proud to put into the world.

About Luke Grimes:
Luke Grimes is a natural-born creative: an actor, musician, singer, and songwriter who releases his self-titled debut album on March 8. Luke Grimes, produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton) arrives on the heels of Grimes’ gritty, acclaimed 2023 EP, Pain Pills or Pews, and features 13 tracks. Ten songs were co-written by Grimes, including “No Horse to Ride,” which debuted at No. 7 on the Country Songs sales chart in 2022 and accumulated 43.3M release-to-date global on-demand streams. Spotify highlighted the song on the cover of its Country Hits 2023 playlist, with the song in the No. 1 position. Grimes’ recording of “Hold On,” a highlight of Pain Pills or Pews that also appears on Luke Grimes, has amassed 27.4M global streams, adding to Grimes’ nearly 105M total global streams to date of all his music.

Known for his role as Kayce Dutton on the hit TV drama Yellowstone, Grimes grew up in Ohio playing music in the church and listening to the Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings records his father played him. Later, he moved to L.A. and joined an Americana band as its drummer before relocating to Montana, where Yellowstone films. Now writing in Nashville with hit songwriters like Rodney Clawson, Nicolle Galyon, the Love Junkies, Aaron Raitiere, and Brent Cobb, Grimes is sharing his personal story — of the loss of his father and meeting his wife — with country fans.

In 2023 he played upwards of 20 festivals, including Stagecoach, Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival, and Under the Big Sky Festival, and headlined his own sold-out tour. Grimes will make a return to Stagecoach in April 2024 with his highly anticipated full-length album under his belt.

ACM and CMA Award-winning artist Jon Pardi and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan today released the official video for their hit collaboration, “Cowboys and Plowboys.” Filmed outside of Nashville and in California, the video was directed by Shaun Silva and features Rodeo Champions including Kyle Lockett, Bert McGill, Dallas Owen, Dakota Eldridge, Jordan Ketscher, Shelby Cole, Jaylee McGill, and Wayce McGill.

Bryan and Pardi both teased news of the video earlier this week on their socials with a live performance clip of the song taken from Luke Bryan’s annual Crash My Playa event in Mexico.

Written by Rhett Akins, Jacob Rice and Cole Taylor, “Cowboys and Plowboys” is currently climbing the charts on Country radio and is the latest single from newly inducted Grand Ole Opry member Pardi, who recently became the only California native invited in Grand Ole Opry history.  Named a “hero in the making” (Variety), Pardi has earned six No. 1s on country radio to date and is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (MusicRow) and his impressive ability to carve out his own path creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still wok on a mass scale” (Variety).

“Cowboys And Plowboys” Lyrics:

I wear a 20X American hat

A gold buckle from a rodeo

I wear a dusty old co-op cap

Make my living on them old turn rows

I ride a quarter horse, my tractor’s right here

I drink whiskey, and I drink beer

Cowboys and plowboys

Just some good old small town boys

Both make the world go ’round boys

Boy, ain’t that the truth

Yeah, we got different roots, we wear different boots

But we ain’t that different when the day is through

So, here’s to the cowboys and plowboys like me and you

Just like me and you

I take my girl to the honky tonk

I two-step and I spin her around

I take mine to them fields of gold

Hold her tight while the sun goes down

Cowboys and plowboys

Just some good old small town boys

Both make the world go ’round boys

Boy, ain’t that the truth

Yeah, we got different roots, we wear different boots

But we ain’t that different when the day is through

So, here’s to the cowboys and plowboys like me and you

Just like me and you

We crank some George Strait, we crank some old Hank

From the big sky to the riverbank

Cowboys and plowboys

Just some good old small town boys

Both make the world go ’round boys

Boy, ain’t that the truth

Yeah, we got different roots, we wear different boots

But we ain’t that different when the day is through

So, here’s to the cowboys and plowboys like me and you

Just like me and you

 Just like us, Pardi

You got that right, Luke

Brothers Osborne‘s John Osborne graces the cover of the new issue of Vintage Guitar magazine for a second time. He posted on Instagram: “If you know anything about me, it’s that I love old shit! Especially when it comes to guitars. There was a time when I had only one guitar and I never imagined I would be the custodian of numerous great vintage ones. I especially never thought I would get to grace the cover of vintage guitar magazine for the second time. Thank you, Becky Fluke (@bfluke) for making me look cooler than I am.”

Luke Bryan’s annual all-inclusive concert vacation, Crash My Playa, wrapped Saturday night in Riviera Cancún, Mexico with its ninth annual event. The event took place at the incredible AAA Four Diamond Awarded Moon Palace Cancún, featuring four nights of country music on a private stretch of white sand beach.

“I can’t think of a better way to kick off the year,” said Luke. “Jon and Jelly Roll came out and just blew everyone away with their sets, and it was so fun to watch.  On Saturday night I’m pretty sure I was having more fun than anyone out there!  Being able to have a set list that is more off the cuff and spontaneous is one of my favorite nights on stage. Dierks and I always have fun singing together and then to top it with a legend like Eddie Montgomery was just something I have always wanted to do.  I could not have asked for a better group of artists and friends to have down here with us.”

Crash My Playa kicked off last Wednesday, January 17 with four fun-filled days of performances with daily pool parties, nightly concerts, and late-night party sets. Fans experience one-of-a-kind performances from all the artists participating as they joined each other on stage or as enjoyed watching each other’s sets throughout the four days. On Saturday evening, Luke closed out the four-day event with a special “Luke & Friends” set welcoming special guests Dierks Bentley and Eddie Mongomery.

The 9^th Annual Crash My Playa, once again took place at the incredible AAA Four Diamond Awarded Moon Palace Cancún. The resort provides guests with a wide range of luxury accommodations to indulge in, just steps from Crash My Playa’s state-of-the-art concert venue. The oceanfront sanctuary offers magnificent rooms, gourmet all-inclusive food and drink, 24-hour room service as well as plenty of activities on both land and sea, including the lavish AWE-Spa and a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.

Luke Bryan has been announced as one of the headliners for the 12th annual Watershed Festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington.

George Strait has launched four new exotic boots with his collaboration with Justin Boots. The new releases are available in two caiman options — the Haggard, offered in tan and black; and two pirarucu variations — the Ocean Front, also offered in tan and black. “I’ve got some new exotics coming out that I’m thinking are going to be your new favorites. They are mine anyway,” says George Strait, in a press release. “They’re named Haggard, after my hero of course, and Ocean Front. Try some out. You’re going to love the way they fit and feel, and they’re absolutely beautiful.” A portion of the proceeds from each sale of boots in the George Strait Collection goes to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund, an organization committed to providing need-based financial assistance to professional rodeo athletes. These new boots are available for purchase at select retailers and online at http://www.justinboots.com.

Brad Paisley, Little Big Town, Sam Hunt, Toby Keith are among the artists performing during CMT’s upcoming special event, CMT Giants: Alabama.” The star-studded tribute concert, which will also feature performances by Blake Shelton with Steve Wariner, Jason Aldean, Old Dominion, Jamey Johnson and Riley Green, will celebrate the extensive and extraordinary career and music of one of the legendary supergroup, Alabama.

He’s got a stellar lineup this year with headliners Jon Pardi, Jelly Roll and himself with his Luke & Friends night featuring Dierks Bentley and Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry that wraps up the event. Dustin Lynch is back with his annual all-day pool party, as well as performances by Bailey Zimmerman, Jon Langston, Mitchell Tenpenney, ERNEST, Lily Rose and more.

Luke says the working vacation comes at the right time, just as people are getting tired of the cold and usually a snowstorm in Nashville, which did happen this year in a big way with several inches of snow falling between this past Sunday and Monday.

“(We’ve) got a great year planned,” says Luke. “We’ve got Jon Pardi and Jelly Roll and got Dierks coming out as a special guest; Eddie Montgomery coming out. I mean, I’m a huge Montgomery Gentry fan, so the fact that I can stand up there and sing songs with Eddie Montgomery on our ‘Friends’ night is gonna be amazing. It’s just gonna be another great year of Playa, and we’ve got Dustin Lynch getting ready for the pool party, so Playa’s just been a great thing. Just about the time it gets too cold to be in Nashville, we fly to Mexico and get warm. Every time we’re driving to the airport, it’s a snowstorm.”

Attendees can probably expect Luke and Pardi to perform their duet “Cowboys And Plowboys” together at least one night…maybe more.

Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Brad Paisley are set to headline the Houston Rodeo this year. Blake Shelton will kick off the event at NRG Stadium on February 27th, while Church will close out the event March 17th. In-between, performers such as Carly Pearce, HARDY, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, 50 Cent, the Jonas Brothers, Nickelback and Oliver Anthony, among others, will also take the stage during the weeks long event in Houston, Texas.
