Luke Combs Joins Brooks & Dunn For “Brand New Man” At 2019 ACMs

We were excited when both Luke Combs and Brooks & Dunn were announced as performers for the 54th Annual ACM Awards in 2019. But when it was revealed they’d be performing together, everything changed.

Before the 2019 ACMs, they announced a slew of epic duets, including Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson, Dierks Bentley and Brandi Carlile, Eric Church and Ashley McBryde, Dan + Shay, and Kelly Clarkson—and that wasn’t even half of them!

Not only were these incredible collaborations announced, but the ACM also revealed they would be bringing back the fan-favorite segment ACM Flashbacks! At the 2018 show, Kelly Clarkson joined host Reba McEntire for a duet to the latter’s classic song “Does He Love You.” McEntire even slipped back into the infamous red dress from the 90s!

For 2019’s ACM Flashbacks, Brooks & Dunn teamed up with Luke Combs, and George Strait sang a duet with Miranda Lambert. The pairing of Combs and Brooks & Dunn made complete sense since the “Beautiful Crazy” singer joined the duo on their album Reboot.

On the album – and now on the stage – the trio of country singers sang the 1991 hit song “Brand New Man.” From the very first guitar strum, they had the ACM Awards audience on their feet, and only a few words in, everyone was singing along. We felt like we were transported back to the 90s with this one – in a good way!

Combs performed earlier at night and traded in his suit for his trademark fishing shirt and red solo cup!
