At the recent BMI Party for Luke Combs, Ben Vaughn and the WCM team presented Combs and his fellow songwriters with a first-of-its-kind gift to celebrate their Platinum record “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” which rose to No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart back in 2019.

Combs and his fellow songwriters Randy Montana and Jonathan Singleton are all bow hunters, so the team honored the trio by creating custom deer targets to commemorate the record breaking single.
