Country music superstar Luke Bryan has performed at a wide variety of venues during his career— college bars, stadiums, and even farms just to name a few!
“No matter whether I’m on Farm Tour or I’m at a big football stadium, I try to go out there with the same mentality,” the Georgia native explained during a media call ahead of his 2018 Farm Tour. “I try to perform my shows like Elvis is watching and try to do the best I can night in and night out and have a big ol’ performance.”
Yes, the late “King of Rock and Roll” is at the forefront of Bryan’s mind when he gets up on that stage and entertains his adoring fans! Something tells us that Elvis would approve of the “Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset” artist’s signature booty shakin’ moves.
Bryan will once again honor the American farmer this fall as his tenth annual Farm Tour is set to run September 27th through October 6th. The Georgia native will take the six-city tour from Ohio to Florida, setting up stages in the fields of local farmers across those states. Joining the star as guests this year are Chase Rice, Jon Langston, the Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock.
Over 100,000 fans have attended the tour each year since its inception in 2009. The country star will continue giving back to the farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. To date, more than 50 scholarships have been granted.

“What Makes You Country” Lyrics
People talkin’ ’bout what is and what ain’t country
What gives ’em a right to wear a pair of beat-up boots?
Is it the size of your tires and your fires, or your wild ass buddies?
Well, give me a minute, let me hit you with some hometown truth
You could be a cowboy on the Texas plain
Or a plowboy waitin’ on the rain
We’re all a little different, but we’re all the same
Everybody doin’ their own thing
I got my dirt road cred when I was twelve
On a no cab tractor hauling them bales
Backing in boats, fishing limb lines
Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines
Step side cover down in peanut dust
Friday night spotlight, and that was us
It might not’ve been you, but I can’t judge
Just be proud of what makes you country
Does it run in your blood?
Did it come from your daddy and mama?
Where you converted by an Alabama song on the radio?
That feels so right
Did you lock eyes with a little green eyed girl from Jackson?
Tell me what got ya, I just gotta know
Me, I got my Sunday learning in a live oak church
Silver Queen corn in a backyard dirt
Waiting for the fall to finally come along
So I can grab my gun and get my outside on
Step side cover down in peanut dust
Friday night spotlight, and that was us
It might not’ve been you, but I can’t judge
Just be proud of what makes you country
Might be from a city or a little farm town
Whatever kind of square that you drove around
Do you wear in on your sleeve or keep it deep down?
You know you gotta let it out
I got my dirt road cred back when I was twelve
On a no cab tractor hauling them bales
Backing in boats, fishing limb lines
Running bird dogs through them Georgia pines
Step side cover down in peanut dust
Friday night spotlight, and that was us
It might not’ve been you, but I ain’t judging
And just be proud of what makes you country
Whatever makes you country
You do your kinda country
They doing they kind of country
I do my kind of country
Whatever makes us country
