Luke Grimes’ Country Music Career

Grimes has captured the nation’s heart playing Kayce Dutton on Yellowstone. While he has certainly proven his talent as an actor, he may be leaving Hollywood after the show comes to an end. Earlier this year, sources close to Grimes said he wasn’t taking on other acting offers.

In Oct. 2023 — during Yellowstone‘s hiatus — Grimes released his first EP, Pain Pills or Pews. His self-titled debut album arrived in March 2024.

Since then, he’s toured and played several big events across the country, including Stagecoach and CMA Fest. His Opry debut comes on the heels of his first performance at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium — Grimes played the Mother Church on Thursday, Nov. 14.
