Luke Combs took to his Nashville garage last night to play some songs for fans live on Instagram.

He said before playing, "It's awesome that we have stuff like this to be able to see each other. I wanna play a couple of songs tonight to just kind of take your mind off things a bit." He started off the garage show by covering Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car."

Introducing a new song he wrote a few weeks ago while at the beach, Combs said that it started raining at the beach and his fiance Nicole asked "What do you do when it's raining?" which inspired the new song that even though it was written before COVID-19, somehow fits the 'crazy' times we are all in.
