Colby Acuff Inks With Sony Music Nashville, Debut Album Due In June
Colby Acuff has signed with Sony Music Nashville. Acuff will release his debut album Western White Pines June 9, and a first glimpse of the album, “Playing God Again,” is out now.
A fourth generation Idaho native with a rugged spirit, Acuff’s untamed pure brand of country stands apart in today’s format. From two-stepping honky tonk anthems with a frontier philosopher’s eye, to campfire confessions filled with road-weary wisdom, every track on Acuff’s first three independently released albums was written entirely solo. Working with producer/engineer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Cody Jinks) Western White Pines features another batch of gritty, solo-written songs, plus some first ever co-writes.
“When I started playing music, I never thought that I’d get a record deal. I’ve always had the mentality that we’d have to go out and do it all on our own. What I realize now is that there are some amazing people in the business who truly understand me,” says Acuff. “Western White Pines is a project full of some of my favorite songs. The record is unique in all aspects of the word. You will never hear the same song twice, but you will know that it’s a Colby Acuff record.”
Acuff has earned nearly 60 million on-demand streams on his three independent albums. He has toured with Lainey Wilson, 49 Winchester, Flatland Calvary and more, and is appearing on select Whiskey Jam Tailgate shows ahead of Luke Combs’ summer stadium dates.
He is represented by Make Wake Artists and WME.
