Luke Combs is set to appear in Season 2 of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s USA Network tv show, Straight Up Steve Austin.
The country superstar’s episode on Straight Up Steve Austin is slated for release next week and during the show, the “Forever After All” singer talks his career and more while mudding. One thing that Austin asked Combs is to tell him about the influence that Eric Church had on Combs because he remembered seeing Combs say that he redefined how he thought of country music.
“I think the reason myself and my parents stopped listening to country music at that time, it wasn’t at that moment in time as relatable. A lot of guys got heavy into the beach, it was getting more poppy sounding at that time. And not to say I’m Merle Haggard, because I’m not, I’m not claiming to be that either but that was the big shift. When I got to Appalachian State, a guy that lived on my floor brought in an Eric Church CD and said hey this guy went to college here, you should check him out and once I heard Eric I was like, this is something I can relate to and if he can do that and he’s from here, and I’m from here, I can do that. And that’s kind of where the fire caught spark for lack of a better term.”
