As a huge fan of Eric&#8217;s, Luke credits the singer\/songwriter with literally changing the course of his life.<\/p>\n<p>After winning his New Artist of the Year award, Luke told reporters backstage that he went to the same small North Carolina college that Eric attended, and even went with a friend to watch Eric play on campus early in his career.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t give his music a chance that day, to be really honest with you, and a couple weeks later I said, &#8216;You know what? I&#8217;m gonna give this guy&#8217;s album a shot and I listened to it front to back and it really changed my outlook and changed a lot of things for me about country music. I was just a fan for three years and when I decided to pick the guitar up I said, &#8216;You know what? If this guy went to college here and can be on stage at the CMAs winning CMA awards and getting Number One songs, I don&#8217;t see why I can&#8217;t do it,&#8217; and he really inspired me to have tunnel vision-like approach to what I wanted to do and I&#8217;m very lucky to have run into his music because I really don&#8217;t think that I would be here without it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BfBNMCcF3IM\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luke Combs says he experienced a &#8220;full circle&#8221; moment while watching Eric Church perform live during the CMA Awards.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":2583,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[305,59,101],"class_list":["post-2581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-cma-awards","tag-eric-church","tag-luke-combs"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 10:12:14","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2018\/11\/luke-combs-gives-credits-to-eric-church\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2581"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3954,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581\/revisions\/3954"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
