About Colby Acuff

A fourth generation Idaho native with a rugged spirit true to his mountain home, honest-to-a-fault lyrics and a sound as raw as the remote wilderness, Colby Acuff’s untamed brand of country stands proudly apart in today’s format, pure and untouched by modern gimmicks. From two-stepping honky tonk anthems with a frontier philosopher's eye, to serene campfire confessions, full of spiritual scar tissue and road-weary wisdom, every track on his first three independently released albums was written entirely solo and pulled straight from the life he actually lived – and because of that, none were your “typical” country song. Working with acclaimed producer/engineer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Cody Jinks) Acuff’s Western White Pines arrived in 2023 on Sony Music Nashville. Another batch of gritty, solo-written songs – plus the first ever co-writes of a promising career – it introduced a country talent as wild and free as the Idaho mountains themselves and was lauded as one of the year’s best by Saving Country Music, Whiskey Riff , Country Chord, and more. With the release of his latest album 'American Son', featuring songs "Nightmare", Plastic Horses", “Scared of the Dark" and "How Do I Feel Alive", Acuff is currently headlining shows in markets across the country and is supporting Whiskey Myers, Midland, and Flatland Cavalry this fall.
