Information
21+ / www.carolspub.comA fifth-generation Idahoan, Acuff grew up watching his hometown of Coeur dAlene transform before his eyes. One by one, the lumber mills closed down as a blue-collar town turned into a ritzy resort escape for elites from around the country.Acuffs childhood was full of music Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, bluegrass that situated all the changes he witnessed in a long lineage of working-class American struggle, and soundtracked the nostalgia felt by watching a way of life become bygone. By the time Acuff released his 2020 debut Life Of A Rolling Stone, his perspective and concerns as an artist were already fully formed. Hed make two more albums while living in Idaho 2021s If I Were The Devil and 2022s Honky Tonk Heaven before moving to Nashville to record 2023s Western White Pines and 2024s American Son with producer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan and Brandi Carlile).After the release of American Son, Acuff sat down with his right-hand man, producer Eddie Spear, and puzzled over a new approach to the next project. They decided to go out and talk to people, take the temperature, and see what listeners wanted to hear. The resulting work still boasts the thoughtful reflections on American life that Acuff has made his name on, but refuses to simply stare into the void. Instead, the throughlines of the project became resilience and optimism, even in the bleakest times.Having toured with the likes of Luke Combs, Charles Wesley Godwin, 49 Winchester, Midland, Whiskey Myers, Flatland Cavalry, Jon Pardi, Muscadine Bloodline, and more, Acuff is embarking on the Handmade Horsepower headline tour in 2026, playing shows all across the country.
