Colby Acuff has never been interested in chasing the room. The fifth-generation Idahoan has been building something more durable than a moment, music rooted in the dirt and grit of middle America, written for the people he believes the industry has largely forgotten. Raised on Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, and bluegrass in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Acuff channelled his blue-collar upbringing into six studio albums spanning his 2020 debut Life of a Rolling Stone through 2025's Enjoy The Ride, and now his seventh studio album HANDMADE HORSEPOWER, produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile) and written independently over six days back home in Idaho, Acuff arrives as an artist who has found his direction. Having toured alongside Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jon Pardi, Whiskey Myers, Flatland Cavalry and more, Acuff is ready to take the CMC Rocks QLD stage for the first time.
