Luke Combs Reflects on Alan Jackson’s Final Concert, Calling It A Night He’ll ‘Never Forget’

Luke Combs is reflecting on a standout moment in his career that took place in Nashville over the weekend. The hitmaker was among the many country acts who took the stage at Nissan Stadium on Saturday, June 27 to help celebrate the final show of Alan Jackson’s legendary career.

Appearing in front of a sold-out crowd, Combs delivered his rendition of Jackson’s 2010 release “Hard Hat and a Hammer,” a tribute to everyday working people. The North Carolina native made the song his own, leaning into the lyrics that highlight the “average Joes” who show up each day to do the often unseen work that keeps the world moving.

Combs has had many important performances throughout his career, but this one carried extra meaning for him and the country music community. He took to social media to share a heartfelt message, reflecting on the unforgettable night.

“Last night was so special in so many ways. It was truly a night that I needed more than I even realized,” he admitted. “Getting asked to help honor someone like Alan Jackson was surreal. The impact he’s had on me, so many others, and country music as a whole can’t be overstated.”

He shared that, in addition to performing what he calls an “all-timer” for him, he also got a rare chance to step back and feel like a fan as he watched fellow hitmakers including Luke Bryan, Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and more come together to honor one of the genre’s most influential figures.

“I watched some of the best country singers in the world stand side stage and go back in time, laugh, cry, sing along, and take themselves back to the feeling that started it all for us. I hung out with my wife, my mom, some old friends, some new friends, ate cookout at 1am, and had a damn BLAST while I was doing it.”

“Last night was one of those nights I’ll never forget. I shook one of my heroes hands and got to thank him for everything he’s done for us. God I love country music,” Combs concluded.

Alan Jackson’s Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale celebrated the “Chattahoochee” singer’s retirement from touring after over 35 years. All 55,000 tickets for the highly anticipated night were purchased before even going on sale to the general public.

Fans from all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, and countries including Australia, Brazil, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and the U.K came to Music City to experience the for the once-in-a-lifetime show.

In addition to Luke Combs, the special evening featured an all-star lineup of performers including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, Lee Ann Womack, and more.

Alabama Man Goes Viral for Massive ‘USA 250’ Eagle Lawn Art Ahead of America’s 250th Birthday

A man named Ron Burkett is going viral for his impressive lawn art created in honor of America’s upcoming 250th birthday.

Located in Trussville, Alabama, Burkett used a string trimmer to carefully cut a massive design into his lawn, featuring a large eagle with “USA 250” above it and stars placed on each side. 

The detailed work has quickly caught attention online after photos and videos began circulating across social media.

Burkett also shared a behind-the-scenes look at the process, including drone footage that highlights the scale and precision of the design. In one photo, he even included a person standing nearby for scale, helping show just how massive the artwork really is.

According to Burkett, “The eagle is 52 ft from wingtip to wingtip and 22 ft from head to tail.”

This isn’t the first time his patriotic yard art has gone viral. Last year, Burkett used a pressure washer to create a giant Statue of Liberty design on his driveway, and surprisingly, it’s still visible today.

“If you look on the driveway, you can see the Statue of Liberty still there from last year,” he wrote in a caption. 

“It’s still holding up pretty well a year later,” he added.

Social media users were quick to comment on Burkett’s art.

“WOW!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!   GOD BLESS AMERICA,” one user wrote. Another added, “It’s magnificent! Thanks for being so creative and sharing it with us all! God bless you and the USA!!! 

This week, people across the country will come together to celebrate America’s 250th birthday with festivities taking place in cities nationwide.

Country stars are joining in on the celebration, with performances planned in several locations, including Nashville, where a genre-spanning lineup will take the stage featuring The All-American Rejects, Boyz II Men, Brothers Osborne, Clint Black, Lauren Daigle, NE-YO, Nick Jonas, and Sublime, along with more than 30 local artists, bands, and DJs.

The celebration will culminate in the largest fireworks and drone show in Nashville’s history, making Music City one of the premier destinations for America250 festivities.
