WHAT IT IS: Idaho native Colby Acuff’s untamed sound sets him apart in today’s musical landscape. Every track on his first three independently released albums was written solo and pulled straight from his personal experiences. Produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Cody Jinks), Acuff’s 2023 LP Western White Pines showcases another batch of gritty, solo-written songs—plus the first-ever co-writes of his promising career. With new music on the horizon, Acuff will join Luke Combs on his 2024 stadium tour.
