with special guest Brendan Walter

Colby Acuff has never been interested in chasing the room. The fifth-generation Idahoan has been building something more durable than a moment, music rooted in the dirt and grit of middle America, written for the people he believes the industry has largely forgotten. Raised on Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, and bluegrass in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Acuff channeled his blue-collar upbringing into six studio albums spanning his 2020 debut Life of a Rolling Stone through 2025's Enjoy The Ride, each one building and holding a devoted fanbase.

Now, with his seventh studio album HANDMADE HORSEPOWER, produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile) and written independently over six days back home in Idaho, Acuff arrives as an artist who has found his direction. Drawing from the classic outlaw country of the '70s and the resolve of '80s rock, the record's ten songs are steeped in redemption, resilience, and a refusal to give in.

Having toured alongside Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jon Pardi, Whiskey Myers, Flatland Cavalry, and more, Acuff will continue THE HANDMADE HORSEPOWER TOUR this fall with headline dates across the U.S. while also supporting Charles Wesley Godwin and 49 Winchester on select dates.

Brendan Walter is a Texas-born singer-songwriter with a relentless craving for purpose. A former semi-pro hockey player, Walter pivoted to music and began releasing his rugged mix of country, indie folk, and alternative songs. Following the hit collab “If a Song Could Change Your Mind” with Low Gap, and then popular tunes like “Asking for a Friend, and “Pipe Dream,” Walter scored a record deal in 2025 and released his debut album Disappearing Days, a collection about coming of age. He’s hit the road with artists like Wyatt Flores, Evan Honer, and 49 Winchester, and he’s excited to take bittersweet tunes into headlining shows this year.
