Luke Combs Accepts His MusicRow Award Via Instagram

After winning the inaugural Artist of the Year award at last week‘s 2019 MusicRow Awards, Luke Combs took to Instagram to accept his trophy. Manager Chris Kappy accepted the award in Combs’ place last week who regrettably was unable to attend in person, and had some touching words to say about the chart-dominating artist.

“Luke couldn’t be here tonight, so first to clear up something, I’m not his father or his grandfather,” quipped Kappy from the MusicRow Awards stage. “I want to thank everybody who has been supporting Luke and what he does. He’s a great artist and I just want to say thank you to everybody and thank you for him.”
