Country Superstar Luke Combs is winging his way to New Zealand next month, and his opener isn’t someone to sneeze at.
Country-pop singer Jordan Davis has had multiple number one hits, two platinum albums, and won multiple awards at the Country Music Awards.
He has a significant fanbase in the US, and Kiwi audiences will be able to get a taste of him live.
Davis told Mike Hosking that visiting New Zealand has definitely been on the bucket list for a long time.
“I thought it would just be me travelling to see the beautiful country that I’ve seen growing up, but now, being able to mesh that with going over and working some is awesome.”
The two first toured together about two or three years ago, Davis revealed, and after headlining a tour of his own, he agreed to do another stadium tour with Combs this past year.
“I think Luke knows that I’ll jump at any chance to get out and play shows with him,” Davis said.
“I love him to death, and he’s been really good to me, so I’m excited to continue playing music with him.”

discovered in Side. He's had six number ones, multi platinum
album Woolen Shell, Full of the Wards, the good News.
He's he next to you with us Mike, Luke Combs
and Jordan Davis is with us from Nashville. Good morning morning, Mike,
Thank you for having me on No, not at all ten.
Now tell us about your experience of New Zealand. If
(00:22):
it's more than I've never been there before.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's it. That is my experience.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I've never been there before, definitely been on the bucket
list for a long time, so I definitely think it
would be a.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Trip over there playing music.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I thought it would just be me traveling to see
the beautiful country.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That I've seen growing up.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
But now being able to mess that with going over
and working some is awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Now, how did the Luke Combs thing come about?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You know, me and Luke we've been touring going back
to I think twenty kay. I think my first tour
with him was probably two three years ago. You know,
it was me, him and Laney and then I went
did a headline and tour, and then he offered me,
he asked me to come back and do a stadium
tour with him this past year. And then one night
(01:12):
after I believe it was the Cincinnati show here in
the States, he asked me. He basically told me, he
was like, Hey, I've got something coming your way and
you need to stay.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yes to it. And I was like, well, what is it.
He was like, look, you're going to hear about it
in the next couple of days, and I need you
to say yes to it.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So I think Luke knows that I'll jump at any
chance to get out and play shows with him. And
obviously this tour was what he was talking about. So
it's been a friendship going on five years now. I
love him to death and he's been really good to me,
so I'm excited to continue playing music with him.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
So you had him on the show a couple of
months ago. He seems to me like the real deal.
He's He's like, he's a good guy.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh, I mean, I don't know of any better, to
be honest with you, you know, I've known about Luke
for a lot longer than I've then I've actually, you know,
called him a friend.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
But I remember, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
The first the first songs I heard from him, just
thinking like, man, this guy, this guy's a heck of
a writer, incredible singer.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You know, he must be a jerk like something. He
can't have it all, you know. And and then I
and then I met him, and uh, he's been so
good to me, so good to my family. He really is. Uh,
you know, his song what you see is what you get.
That's Luke Combs. He's good as goal.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
And does he look after you on too? Because it's
it's that old rock and roll thing, you know, where
whereby you never see the star and you're just in
a separate It seems different in country music, is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Man? We're you know, I think that, you know, And
a lot of.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
That is the artists that have come before us that
have taken us out, and probably artists that have taken
Luke out.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It was always I thought it would be that way.
It was like, you know, as an opener, it was
kind of like, well, I'm just gonna go out and
play the show, stay out of the headliner's.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Way, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But with Luke, it's you know, I feel like I
saw him every day when we're out torn together. I
bump in his green room for probably two three hours
watch football with him, you know, just catch up, hangout.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So and that wasn't just me, that was Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Timpenny, Kobe, a Cuff, you know a lot of the
other artists that were on that tour. It's an open
door policy, man, And uh, it makes it makes touring
more fun. It makes the road a little bit easier
when when you truly are out there with good people
and everybody's kind of looking after everybody you reckon.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's part of the explosion and popularity of country music
in that sense. I mean, this seems to be a
genuine community and camaraderie among most people.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I sure hope. So, you know, Mike Coman ever even
thought about that. I hope that is is one reason
why it feels like country is gaining is bigger now
than it's ever been. You know.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think you hear people talk about that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
On on award shows or interviews and say like, yeah,
he's a buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Uh And maybe a lot of people take.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
That as like, oh, they probably see each other and
like you know, say hello at shows.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Or at festivals or whatever. But it's actually it really is.
You know, we all root for everybody, and I know
roots for me. I root for him.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
But you know, there's numbers in my phone Dirk's old
dominion guys Jacohen that I truly could call right now
and they would answer the phone and it's not like odd,
are weird?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's just like, hey, what's up man? You know? And
I think that is. I think that's one of the
reason why Country Country.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Is doing what it what what you know, what it's
doing right now is because we really do all like
each other.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, now, tell us about your story, because are you
another one of these? I moved to Nashville. I mean,
you know, you learn to play the guitar, I went
to university, moved to Nashville, got discovered. I mean that
can be presumably a real thing.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah, absolutely, you know, it's definitely not as easy as that,
you know. I moved in twenty twelve after graduating from school,
and you know, never dreamed to be the artist or
touring or playing shows.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
My dream when I moved was to write songs. I wanted.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I wanted other artists to cut my songs and hopefully
one day hear some songs on the radio. I come
from a family of songwriter, so my uncle, you know,
found his way in Nashville that way.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So I kind of thought that I would just kind
of follow a suit.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And it wasn't until kind of out of out of desperation,
you know, things weren't going my way in Nashville. I'd
been in town for almost five years and really didn't
have anything going on.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That I started playing shows.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I started playing live, you know, little bitty shows around
Tennessee writers rounds here in town. Then really caught the
bug of it and just fell in love with performing
my songs. And that's how I started, you know, playing shows.
It was something that I never really I didn't you know,
it wasn't a dream until it happened. And now I
(06:01):
really kind of can't, you know, I look back and
I can't think of it going any other way.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
See, given all of that, are you still punching yourself
or a sort of used to it now?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
No? I mean there's still moments of, you know, things.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Where I'm like, you know, you think you're gonna wake
up from a dream, and you know, even this, like
you know, the thought of you know, if you would
have told me ten years ago I was gonna move
and sign a record deal and have some success with
your own music and get a chance to tour countries
that you've been dreaming of visiting and play music there
(06:35):
with superstars that you now call buddies, I'd have been like, Man,
I think you got the wrong guy. I don't think
that's I don't think that's in the cards for me.
But you know, it's still moments that you wake up
and you know, I just came in here from a
room that I have some awards that I never dream,
would have dreamed I ever would have won.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But it's real life and I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
But it definitely makes you want to want to taste
that that success again.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But I am. I'm blessed you.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Well listen once you you know, you get your success
by dude. Of course was huge. That was global, So
that's made you did that feel like something happened at
that point?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
After that release, you know, and that was a weird
one too because it was kind of coming out of
our COVID years.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You know, I had released that song when we weren't
playing music, Uh, and I knew having Luke on it
was was going to really bump that one up and
it was gonna get heard more. But it was that
first show back from probably taking a year off of
not playing a show, and I remember almost not even
playing it that night because I was like, man, I
(07:41):
don't know how this song is going to react.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's new, you know, we don't we've never played it live.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We were playing this big beach festival in Carolina, and
when we started it, I mean, it was just immediate singback,
and that's when I would say, oh, man, this one,
this one feels differ. And then I just thought, well,
you know, these people haven't been to a show in
a year. Maybe it was just like a lucky night,
you know. And then I started seeing, you know, it
(08:08):
was that it was that way every night, and that
was when I really felt a shift in my career
as far as people listening to my music and showing
up the shows. And we've really just been kind of
kind of riding that wave ever since we released By Dirt.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And being a writer, you know, coming from a family
of writers, did you know what you had there? Or
did that surprise you?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
No, not a clue, you know, I would say both
of my my big songs, even next thing. You know,
when we finished them, I didn't think anything of it.
You know, I was proud of it. And I tell
this story too.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I wrote by Dirt with my brother and two of
my best friends, Josh and Matt Jenkinson. When we finished
that song, Josh said, Hey, I don't know what's going
to happen with this, if you're going to record it
or if somebody else is going to cut it, But
I'm really proud of the song we wrote today.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And I think that's how we kind of left.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We were just like, you know, this is what we
this is what we moved to town to do, to
write songs like this that mean a lot to us
and then kind of let the chips fall where they
may if it ever gets released. And so no, I'm
I'll say this, I am so bad at picking songs
that are so called hits.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I have no clue.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I know how to write them as hard as I can,
and then after that I leave those to to people,
the people that know how to pick a good song.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So what have we got a couple of albums? And
when's the next one? Jew by the way, and how
much of next year twenty twenty five, you got sorted.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, a lot of shows already booked for next year.
We're getting to play a lot of festivals, which is
is gonna be fun. I feel like the last couple
of years, I've been on tours from you know, January
pretty much through the year, so I haven't been able
to play a lot of these festivals. So playing a
lot of festivals. I had an album that I was
going to release early next year year. I just recently
(10:01):
have pushed that back. I think I'm going to release
it later in the year. We have a fall headline
and tour that we're planning. Uh and but really not
just to put it out around that. I just don't
feel like I had the songs that that lived up to.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The record I wanted to put out.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
So I'm gonna write, write a couple more months and
see if if we can finally get it nailed down.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
But yeah, a lot of touring next.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Year, and and a and a new record middle of
the way through the year, possibly in the fall.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Man, I tell you what you sound like, this is
the dream you living the dream I am.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I don't know, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
What else I would be doing or I can say this,
I don't know if I would be doing anything else
that would would bring me as much happiness as as
playing music for a living has done. Now, don't get
me wrong, there's definitely been some valleys. You know, I
set it in the you know, it's ups and downs,
but just do what you love and call it work.
(11:04):
And I do love this, And it's crazy that I
get to call music a job. But yeah, I'm too
far in it now to do anything.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Else, nor do I want to do anything else. I am, I'm,
I'm I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The most most blessed guy out there, lucky to get
to call this a job.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I tell you, I tell you what. Having talked about Luke,
comes Morgan Wallen on the program. One of the things
that really sort of blew their mind was it doesn't
kind of matter with you from Carolina or Tennessee or whatever.
When you get to the other side of the world,
a place like New Zealand, you steer out to the crowd,
tens of thousands this singing back at you. You know,
they're going, oh my god, it's it's it's a truly
global thing. You you know, you're in for quite something.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, I'm excited, man, And you know, whether that's country
or anything, it's the power of music, you know, to
see that we're all not too different. You know, we
love you know, we all want the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And and to be that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Far away from home and to hear people getting a
chance to hear people sing my songs, it is. It's
probably gonna be emotional, you know. It's a special thing.
So I'm grateful I'm getting the opportunity to do it.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We're looking forward to seeing you. You have a great
fist of season, and we'll look forward to catching up
with you maybe when you get to the country.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Can't wait, Mike, Thank you so much man.

in Nashville, working aby get discovered and going to a
big time success stories. Eight e is after he was
discovered in Side. He's had six number ones, multi platinum
album Woolen Shell, Full of the Wards, the good News.
He's he next to you with us Mike, Luke Combs
and Jordan Davis is with us from Nashville. Good morning morning, Mike,
Thank you for having me on No, not at all ten.
Now tell us about your experience of New Zealand. If
(00:22):
it's more than I've never been there before.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
That's it. That is my experience.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I've never been there before, definitely been on the bucket
list for a long time, so I definitely think it
would be a.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Trip over there playing music.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I thought it would just be me traveling to see
the beautiful country.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That I've seen growing up.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
But now being able to mess that with going over
and working some is awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Now, how did the Luke Combs thing come about?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You know, me and Luke we've been touring going back
to I think twenty kay. I think my first tour
with him was probably two three years ago. You know,
it was me, him and Laney and then I went
did a headline and tour, and then he offered me,
he asked me to come back and do a stadium
tour with him this past year. And then one night
(01:12):
after I believe it was the Cincinnati show here in
the States, he asked me. He basically told me, he
was like, Hey, I've got something coming your way and
you need to stay.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yes to it. And I was like, well, what is it.
He was like, look, you're going to hear about it
in the next couple of days, and I need you
to say yes to it.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So I think Luke knows that I'll jump at any
chance to get out and play shows with him. And
obviously this tour was what he was talking about. So
it's been a friendship going on five years now. I
love him to death and he's been really good to me,
so I'm excited to continue playing music with him.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
So you had him on the show a couple of
months ago. He seems to me like the real deal.
He's He's like, he's a good guy.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh, I mean, I don't know of any better, to
be honest with you, you know, I've known about Luke
for a lot longer than I've then I've actually, you know,
called him a friend.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
But I remember, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
The first the first songs I heard from him, just
thinking like, man, this guy, this guy's a heck of
a writer, incredible singer.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You know, he must be a jerk like something. He
can't have it all, you know. And and then I
and then I met him, and uh, he's been so
good to me, so good to my family. He really is. Uh,
you know, his song what you see is what you get.
That's Luke Combs. He's good as goal.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
And does he look after you on too? Because it's
it's that old rock and roll thing, you know, where
whereby you never see the star and you're just in
a separate It seems different in country music, is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Man? We're you know, I think that, you know, And
a lot of.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
That is the artists that have come before us that
have taken us out, and probably artists that have taken
Luke out.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It was always I thought it would be that way.
It was like, you know, as an opener, it was
kind of like, well, I'm just gonna go out and
play the show, stay out of the headliner's.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Way, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But with Luke, it's you know, I feel like I
saw him every day when we're out torn together. I
bump in his green room for probably two three hours
watch football with him, you know, just catch up, hangout.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So and that wasn't just me, that was Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Timpenny, Kobe, a Cuff, you know a lot of the
other artists that were on that tour. It's an open
door policy, man, And uh, it makes it makes touring
more fun. It makes the road a little bit easier
when when you truly are out there with good people
and everybody's kind of looking after everybody you reckon.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's part of the explosion and popularity of country music
in that sense. I mean, this seems to be a
genuine community and camaraderie among most people.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I sure hope. So, you know, Mike Coman ever even
thought about that. I hope that is is one reason
why it feels like country is gaining is bigger now
than it's ever been. You know.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think you hear people talk about that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):

and they would answer the phone and it's not like odd,
are weird?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's just like, hey, what's up man? You know? And
I think that is. I think that's one of the
reason why Country Country.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Is doing what it what what you know, what it's
doing right now is because we really do all like
each other.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, now, tell us about your story, because are you
another one of these? I moved to Nashville. I mean,

it was gonna get heard more. But it was that
first show back from probably taking a year off of
not playing a show, and I remember almost not even
playing it that night because I was like, man, I
(07:41):
don't know how this song is going to react.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's new, you know, we don't we've never played it live.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We were playing this big beach festival in Carolina, and
when we started it, I mean, it was just immediate singback,
and that's when I would say, oh, man, this one,
this one feels differ. And then I just thought, well,
you know, these people haven't been to a show in
a year. Maybe it was just like a lucky night,
you know. And then I started seeing, you know, it
(08:08):
was that it was that way every night, and that
was when I really felt a shift in my career
as far as people listening to my music and showing
up the shows. And we've really just been kind of
kind of riding that wave ever since we released By Dirt.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And being a writer, you know, coming from a family
of writers, did you know what you had there? Or
did that surprise you?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
No, not a clue, you know, I would say both
of my my big songs, even next thing. You know,
when we finished them, I didn't think anything of it.
You know, I was proud of it. And I tell
this story too.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I wrote by Dirt with my brother and two of
my best friends, Josh and Matt Jenkinson. When we finished
that song, Josh said, Hey, I don't know what's going
to happen with this, if you're going to record it
or if somebody else is going to cut it, But
I'm really proud of the song we wrote today.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And I think that's how we kind of left.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We were just like, you know, this is what we
this is what we moved to town to do, to
write songs like this that mean a lot to us
and then kind of let the chips fall where they
may if it ever gets released. And so no, I'm
I'll say this, I am so bad at picking songs
that are so called hits.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I have no clue.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I know how to write them as hard as I can,
and then after that I leave those to to people,
the people that know how to pick a good song.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So what have we got a couple of albums? And
when's the next one? Jew by the way, and how
much of next year twenty twenty five, you got sorted.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, a lot of shows already booked for next year.
We're getting to play a lot of festivals, which is
is gonna be fun. I feel like the last couple
of years, I've been on tours from you know, January
pretty much through the year, so I haven't been able
to play a lot of these festivals. So playing a
lot of festivals. I had an album that I was
going to release early next year year. I just recently
(10:01):
have pushed that back. I think I'm going to release
it later in the year. We have a fall headline
and tour that we're planning. Uh and but really not
just to put it out around that. I just don't
feel like I had the songs that that lived up to.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The record I wanted to put out.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
So I'm gonna write, write a couple more months and
see if if we can finally get it nailed down.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
But yeah, a lot of touring next.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Year, and and a and a new record middle of
the way through the year, possibly in the fall.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Man, I tell you what you sound like, this is
the dream you living the dream I am.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I don't know, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
What else I would be doing or I can say this,
I don't know if I would be doing anything else
that would would bring me as much happiness as as
playing music for a living has done. Now, don't get
me wrong, there's definitely been some valleys. You know, I
set it in the you know, it's ups and downs,
but just do what you love and call it work.
(11:04):
And I do love this, And it's crazy that I
get to call music a job. But yeah, I'm too
far in it now to do anything.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Else, nor do I want to do anything else. I am, I'm,
I'm I'm.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
The most most blessed guy out there, lucky to get
to call this a job.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I tell you, I tell you what. Having talked about Luke,
comes Morgan Wallen on the program. One of the things
that really sort of blew their mind was it doesn't
kind of matter with you from Carolina or Tennessee or whatever.
When you get to the other side of the world,
a place like New Zealand, you steer out to the crowd,
tens of thousands this singing back at you. You know,
they're going, oh my god, it's it's it's a truly
global thing. You you know, you're in for quite something.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, I'm excited, man, And you know, whether that's country
or anything, it's the power of music, you know, to
see that we're all not too different. You know, we
love you know, we all want the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And and to be that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Far away from home and to hear people getting a
chance to hear people sing my songs, it is. It's
probably gonna be emotional, you know. It's a special thing.
So I'm grateful I'm getting the opportunity to do it.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We're looking forward to seeing you. You have a great
fist of season, and we'll look forward to catching up
with you maybe when you get to the country.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Can't wait, Mike, Thank you so much man.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
