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.

Luke Grimes (music growing up) OC: …liked about it too. 1:06
“My parents are from the Appalachian Mountains, country music was a very big deal for them growing up. My dad became a pastor and music is also a big deal in church and these old hymns – in a lot of ways, they’re related. You know, Hank Williams wrote ‘I Saw The Light,’ which I thought was just some old church song. I didn’t realize he wrote that. Religion and church and music and sort of country life, all these things kind of went hand-in-hand and my dad also liked the old Outlaw guys, that was sort of a secret that people in church didn’t know as much, because he didn’t really want to offend anybody. You know, some people really don’t listen to secular music, but he played me all of that stuff too. What was cool about it was how honest those guys were being, and they can be these really masculine guys, but tell you about their feelings, you know, which is rare. It’s rare for grown men that are like that to be vulnerable, and I really liked that about that music, and I think that’s what my dad liked about it too.”
