Luke Combs Instagram – These are my grandpas. The one on the left of the photo was my dad’s dad, Pap Pap. When I started doing music, he told me, “If you stick with this, you’re gonna make it.” I thought he had lost his mind, but he said it with such conviction that I almost believed him and that moment stuck with me forever. He passed away in 2016, but thankfully my 1st album “This One’s for You” was already finished by then and I played it for him the last time I got to see him. Unfortunately that’s as far as he saw my music career go.
The one on the right is my Mom’s dad, Grandpa Jim. We spent so many Sunday’s together watching races, cooking breakfast, telling dirty jokes, and driving Grandma crazy. He passed away in 2011 and never got to see me pick up a guitar or sing a song but I know he’d be my biggest fan if he was still with us, especially when I got to play at the Daytona 500 two years in a row.
The reason I tell y’all all this is because they were the inspiration for my song “See Me Now” – where I kind of get to tell these stories a little bit and tell them some things they never got to see happen. I miss you both like crazy and I like to think you’d both be proud of the man I’ve become.
