Popular actor, Luke Grimes is reportedly working on a career as a country singer. According to sources, he has already started working on his country music career and quite recently finished a song with Jessi Alexander and Ben Hayslip.
When asked about where he got the inspiration from, he said;
“It was around that time when the alt-country thing was really going on. Wilco and Ryan were really big then and we were kind of like that. I played guitar too and helped write songs for the band, so I got to be more than just the drummer. It was a cool experience.”
According to him, he grew up as a pastor’s son, therefore, he was limited in the kind of music he listened to.
“I hate this word, but the ‘secular’ music that I was allowed to listen to as a kid was Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. That’s the stuff my dad grew up on in the Appalachian Mountains. When he didn’t have to be a pastor, he was playing that sort of folk and country rock,” he added.
