"I'm so excited to be giving my fans new music!,� shared Luke. �Writing and recording this project has been a blast. I feel like I continue to grow in my artistry and I hope that feeling never goes away. I think being out there on the road so much and seeing what the fans want make it much clearer for me to know what to give them. I hope they are as excited to hear it as I am to know what they think! Tailgates & Tanlines pretty much sums up a good time and that is what I go out there every night wanting to accomplish! I want everyone that hears my music to forget about all the other things in their lives that might stress them out and just raise their hands and sing along!�
The first single off Tailgates & Tanlines, �Country Girl (Shake It For Me)"(co-written with Dallas Davidson and co-produced by Mark Bright and Jeff Stevens) has become a Top 20 hit, his fastest rising single to date, and also debuted as a #1 country digital single.
