Luke Combs shared a handful of images on his Instagram showing the last week of him performing at Stagecoach, doing some fishing, cooking with Guy Fieri, and doing some hunting.

Luke captioned the photo dump, “Little bit of life these last few days. A few turkey hunts, some more unconventional than others, some topwater therapy, golf, went to flavor town, hung out with friends old and new, and of course, a night at @stagecoach for a show me, and the boys will never forget. Had a whole hell of a lot of fun, but I’m glad to be back on the couch with my baby @nicolejcombs #ImGonnaGetGoodAtGolfSomehow.”

Combs gets back to business tomorrow night (5/5) when he plays a show in New Orleans.

• 8. “Cold as You” (2021)

• 7. “Doin’ This” (2021)

  Share

  This song was inspired by interviewers asking Luke what he would do as a career if his country music career didn’t take off. His answer is in this song saying that if he didn’t make it big, he’d still be “doin’ this.” He debuted the song at the 2021 CMA Awards.

• 6. “Six Feet Apart” (2020)

  This song only charted in the top ten, but most of us related to it, as It perfectly describes what so many of us were feeling at the beginning of the pandemic.

• 5. “Lovin’ on You” (2020)

• 4. “Hurricane” (2016)

  This is the song that started it all for Luke in Nashville. The song reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Its second week atop that position gave Combs two distinctions: the first artist to have a multi-week number one debut single chart since Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" in 2012 and the first male solo artist to accomplish that since Darius Rucker's "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" in 2008.

• 3. “Beautiful Crazy” (2019)

  Share

  This is Luke’s signature song, and what a great concept for a song. The fun song hit No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart dated August 4, 2019, which made this Combs' sixth number one on the chart. The song was certified Platinum by the RIAA on October 24, 2019.
