Luke Combs put his love story on full display with the live debut of his latest single “Forever After All” at 2021 ACM Awards.
Surrounded by an orchestra, Combs performed the Platinum-certified track from the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville, Tenn.
This year, Ford is partnering with Combs through its Proud to Honor program and recently donated $500,000 to Guitars 4 Vets’ chapters around the country to help expand the program and provide more veterans the opportunity to experience the healing power of music. In the special tribute, Combs and a group of military veterans including Damon Williams, who participated in last year’s Ford Guitars 4 Vets initiative, will sing Williams’ original composition “It’s Alright.”
Last year, Combs announced his partnership with Ford, in support of Guitars 4 Vets, which is an organization that helps veterans cope with post traumatic stress disorder through the healing power of music.
