Luke Bryan Concert 2013 | Luke Bryan Tour - Luke’s fan-voted wins as Academy of Country Music Top New Male and Top New Artist, as well as his score as USA Weekend Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the CMT Music Awards were a “huge validation,” he says. Luke Bryan is a superstar in the making and the career growth from his first to his second to his third studio album, tailgates & tanlines, is the proof. The Georgian who burst on the scene in 2007 with his unique blend of down-home accessibility, movie star good looks and relatable lyrics, is set to explode in a major way. The new album debuted at #1 on the country chart and #2 on the pop charts, making it the second highest debut at that time of 2011 for a country artist. The album is now certified Platinum for sales over one million and contains 3 back to back Platinum singles – “Country Girl (Shake It For Me), “I Don’t Want This Night To End” and “Drunk On You.” To date, Bryan has scored five #1 singles.

When Luke scored his first solo performance slot on the 2011 CMT Music Awards, he made the most of it, receiving a standing ovation for his over-the-top performance of “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” not only from the fans, but also from his artist peers. “When you get performance slots for award shows- that’s a big deal for me,” Luke says.
Luke’s latest album is no doubt his best yet. The 13-song collection (of which Luke co-wrote eight) balances lighter fare with meatier offerings. “I Don’t Want This Night To End,” the album’s second single, written by Luke with fellow Georgians Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip, is a clap-along concert favorite and radio smash.
