Luke Combs turned to Instagram Live on Tuesday night (March 17) to kick off a series of live-streamed shows, as the country practices social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"I’ll do one every week we’re quarantined," Combs said at the end of his four-song concert.

"I spent some time before this whole crazy quarantine thing writing songs for a couple of weeks at the beach," Combs shared. "I wrote this with my buddies James McNair and Mr. Reid Isbell."
"So what do you do when it’s raining? What do you do when the clouds come rollin' in," Combs sings from his Miller Lite barstool dressed in a camo vest.
Before concluding his set, Combs performed hit hit song, "When It Rains It Pours" and his breakthrough debut single, "Hurricane." The North Carolina native also took a moment to give a shout-out to the World Health Organization, encouraging his fans to monitor their website and social media accounts.
"The World Health Organization is doing a great job of keeping everybody up to date," he said. "Check their website, who.int, or on their socials @WHO."
